Abstract
The recent rapid growth of the nanotechnology industry and the development of new nanomaterials have provided various benefits due to their high efficiency and effectiveness while raising both new threats to the environment and challenges to toxicologists and regulators. While the characteristics of nanomaterial toxicity in model systems have been relatively well studied, the impact of environmental factors on the toxicity of nanomaterials in the environment is still in its infancy. The complexity of the interaction between various environmental factors (ionic strength environmental pH, natural organic matter and ultraviolet light) and nanomaterials are described herein with a call for a comprehensive characterization of nanomaterials in natural environments and performance of experiments under more ecologically relevant conditions and concentrations.
