Nanomaterial-induced nanotoxicity: Impact of studies and new advances

Abstract

The increasing application of nanomaterials across various industrial and scientific sectors has raised significant concerns regarding their potential toxicity, both to human health and the environment. This article presents a systematic review of nanomaterial-induced nanotoxicity, focusing on evaluation methodologies and safety strategies. Relevant studies were collected and analyzed through an exhaustive search of scientific databases, adhering to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the quality and relevance of the evidence. The findings highlight the primary mechanisms of toxicity associated with different types of nanomaterials, as well as the most commonly employed analytical tools and experimental models for their assessment. Additionally, emerging approaches to risk mitigation are discussed, including advancements in the design of safer nanomaterials and the development of regulatory frameworks. This work contributes to a comprehensive understanding of nanotoxicity, providing a robust scientific foundation for future research and the safe application of nanomaterials.
