Abstract
Nanotechnology (NT) refers to the generation and application of nanoparticles (NPs). Research in NT has been ongoing for several decades and has resulted in a wide range of materials at the nano-scale. Globally, NPs serve various domestic, pharmaceuticals, aviation, textiles, and other industrial purposes. These particles are currently used in kitchen utensils, medical applications, energy-related research, aircraft, etc. The future of our planet depends on NT. Numerous molecular indicators of genetic and autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, and a wide range of other disorders can currently be diagnosed using NPs. Drug delivery to specific tissues and organs with controlled drug release and accumulation parameters is achieved through NPs. In addition, NPs have been used as active components in some cases. For example, photodynamic therapy’s incorporation and heating are photosensitizers and hyper-thermic tumor killing through NPs. Despite numerous beneficiary use and economic success of NPs, their toxic effects on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have also gained attention. Excessive exposure to NPs in sectors, such as agriculture, industry, etc. has generated negative health effects in humans. The review highlights about NPs in great detail. The paper discusses their sources, usage, toxicity and health effects, transportation, analysis, and treatment. It represents a summary of recent research developments and achievements in the field of NT and substantial gap areas that need to be addressed.
期刊介绍：
ASE is an international journal that publishes high-quality papers, communications, and discussion that advance aerosol science and engineering. Acceptable article forms include original research papers, review articles, letters, commentaries, news and views, research highlights, editorials, correspondence, and new-direction columns. ASE emphasizes the application of aerosol technology to both environmental and technical issues, and it provides a platform not only for basic research but also for industrial interests. We encourage scientists and researchers to submit papers that will advance our knowledge of aerosols and highlight new approaches for aerosol studies and new technologies for pollution control. ASE promotes cutting-edge studies of aerosol science and state-of-art instrumentation, but it is not limited to academic topics and instead aims to bridge the gap between basic science and industrial applications. ASE accepts papers covering a broad range of aerosol-related topics, including aerosol physical and chemical properties, composition, formation, transport and deposition, numerical simulation of air pollution incidents, chemical processes in the atmosphere, aerosol control technologies and industrial applications. In addition, ASE welcomes papers involving new and advanced methods and technologies that focus on aerosol pollution, sampling and analysis, including the invention and development of instrumentation, nanoparticle formation, nano technology, indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, air pollution control, and air pollution remediation and feasibility assessments.
