Nanotechnology is developing very fast and attracting great public interest in various fields such as agriculture, biomedicine, cosmetics, industry, pollution control, etc. In recent decades, research and development have developed rapidly to apply nanotechnology to solve many problems that make life easier.
It is a great effort of researchers and scientists to overcome many challenges with the help of this new technology. However, there is much evidence of the adverse effects of nanomaterials on the environment, so they have become a new environmental problem under the title of “nanotoxicology". This review paper aims to summarise the effects of nanotechnology on plants and humans, sources, distribution, accumulation, bioavailability, and challenges for future sustainable development using current literature.
