Nanoparticles are immensely diverse both in terms of quality and sources of emission into the environment. Nowadays, nanotechnologies are developing and growing at a rapid pace without specific rules and regulations, leading to a severe effect on environment and affecting the labours in outdoor and indoor workplaces. The continue and enormous use of NPs for industrial and commercial purposes, has put a pressing need to think whether the increasing use of these NPs could overcome the severe environmental effects and unknown human health risks. Only a few studies have been carried out to assess the toxic effect of these NPs resulting from their direct or indirect exposure. There is in an increasing clamour to consider environmental implications of NPs and to monitor the outcome of NP during use in biological testing. There remain many open questions for consideration. An adequate research is required to determine the real toxic effect of these NPs on environment and human health. In this review, we have discussed the negative effects of NPs on environment and biosphere at large and the future research required.
纳米颗粒在质量和排放到环境中的来源方面都非常多样化。如今，纳米技术正在快速发展和增长，而没有具体的规则和法规，这对环境造成了严重影响，并影响了户外和室内工作场所的劳动者。由于工业和商业用途的持续大量使用 NPs，人们迫切需要思考，这些 NPs 的日益使用是否会克服严重的环境影响和未知的人类健康风险。只有少数研究评估了这些 NPs 直接或间接暴露后的毒性影响。人们越来越呼吁考虑 NPs 的环境影响，并监测在生物测试中使用 NP 的结果。仍有许多悬而未决的问题需要考虑。需要进行充分的研究来确定这些 NPs 对环境和人类健康的实际毒性影响。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了 NPs 对环境和生物圈的负面影响，以及未来所需的研究。
