Abstract

Nanotechnology arising in wide-ranging areas, covers extensively different ranges of approaches attained from fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine engineering. Nanoparticles are a necessary part of nanotechnology effectually applied in the cure of a number of diseases. Nanoparticles have gained significant importance due to their unique properties, which differ from their bulk counterparts. These distinct properties of nanoparticles are primarily influenced by their morphology, size, and size distribution. At the nanoscale, nanoparticles exhibit behaviours that can enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce drug toxicity. Their small size and large surface area make them promising candidates for applications such as targeted drug delivery, where they can improve treatment outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. The harmful effects of nanoparticles on the environment were critically investigated to obtain appropriate results and reduce the risk by incorporating the materials. Nanoparticles tend to penetrate the human body, clear the biological barriers to reach sensitive organs and are easily incorporated into human tissue, as well as dispersing to the hepatic tissues, heart tissues, encephalum, and GI tract. This study aims to examine a wide variety of nanoparticles, focusing on their manufacturing methods, functional characteristics, and interactions within biological systems. Particular attention will be directed towards assessing the toxicity of nanoparticles in different organs and physiological systems, yielding a thorough comprehension of their potential health hazards and the processes that drive nanoparticle-induced toxicity. This analysis will also emphasize recent developments in nanoparticle applications and safety assessment methodologies.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
