The Advancement of Environmental and Ecotoxicological Research of Nanomaterials
纳米材料的环境和生态毒理学研究进展

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the safety of nanomaterials has raised great concern. Nanomaterials can enter the environment through multiple routes, affecting many environmental aspects, and even exhibiting ecotoxicity. However, the information regarding the relative health and environmental risks of nanotechnology and associated nanomaterials is still lacking, especially for the environmental behaviors of nanomaterials. Only recently have reports investigated the ecological toxicities of nanomaterials such as C60, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and Al nanoparticles, therefore, the ecological effects of more nanomaterials should be further studied. In this review, the recent developments of ecotoxicological research of nanomaterials were summarized.
