A Concise Overview of Effect of Nanomaterials in Soil and Associated Microbiota
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 2 (2024) pp. 183-193
Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials are a cause of concern for environment in entirety due to their unregulated release, which in turn is due to their unregulated synthesis/ production, disposal and continuously rising applications in multiple fields. Although a complete account of impact of these particles in environment is absent, it has already drawn much attention of scientists and crucial work is being done in this field. Current report intends to deliberate on issues related to the harmful impacts of waste containing nanoparticles, particularly on soil and organisms therein. Particularly, we focus on the toxicity of nanoparticles and how they affect soil habitats. In addition, this paper discusses major prevention and risk management approaches. The increased use of nanoparticles (NPs) resulted in their accumulation in the environment, such as soil, generating concern about their hazards. Industrial nanoparticles contain heavy metals, which may cause problems due to toxicity and bioaccumulation. Nanowaste treatment requires understanding of chemical, physical, and biological properties of NPs. Waste management also requires thorough risk assessment of new materials.
