Approximately 45 % of the intracellular R70PS could be cleared from the cells within 12 h, mainly via the lysosomal pathway.

However, the potential exposure to living beings and the environment still remains a concern. While some of these materials were not designed to be dispersible in aqueous media, the development of dispersion protocols to ensure compatibility with the <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> assays has become crucial for the correct assessment of the studies. NMs' identity in biological media is significantly influenced by the formation of a biomolecular corona on its surface. However, this corona might be affected by the dispersion method, altering their physicochemical characteristics and complicating the understanding of their interactions with biological systems. Therefore, understanding the efficiency of dispersion protocols and their influence on the biological identity of NMs is fundamental. However, systematic studies on the effects of dispersion protocols are still lacking, making this a crucial yet overlooked aspect in the field. This study aims to compare two standard dispersion protocols, commonly known as Harvard and Nanogenotox, and evaluate their impact on the biomolecular corona formation across a selection of advanced industrial NMs. To this aim, different techniques were used to assess particle size, colloidal stability and ion release, as well as protein and sialic acid content and abundance in the corona. Results show that the dispersion protocol modestly alters nanoparticle size and agglomeration state, and proteomics analysis revealed that each nanoparticle type forms a distinct corona, influenced by the distinct surface modifications. The presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the Nanogenotox protocol minimally affected the overall trends in protein composition between the two protocols. These findings emphasize the significance of the dispersion protocol in nanotoxicology assays and demonstrate that variations between these methods do not play a decisive role in shaping the bio-identity and potential biological effects of advanced and multicomponent NMs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18786,"journal":{"name":"NanoImpact","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100560"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MNPs generated from these degradation processes were size fractionated using both “dry” and “wet” separation methods. Detailed physicochemical characterization of the size fractionated reference MNPs was performed to determine size, morphology, chemical and elemental compositions, and hydrophobicity.

The present study evaluates workers' exposure potential during the production cycle of few-layer graphene (FLG) by liquid-phase exfoliation, incorporating the Prevention-through-Design approach in the transition from the laboratory scale to the pilot plant production. A measurement campaign was conducted according to the multi-metric approach proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and European Committee for Standardization guidelines. Multi-metric real-time instruments were used to determine particle number concentration (PNC), particle size distribution and lung deposited surface area (LDSA) along with time-integrated instrumentation to collect airborne ultrafine dust for off-line gravimetric analysis and chemical and morphological characterization. The obtained data indicate that the FLG powders storage, including the cleaning of equipment and surfaces, is the most critical step for exposed workers, with higher levels of PNC and LDSA compared to the other production phases. Recommendations for OSH risk mitigation strategies in the scaling up of the FLG production process have been proposed according to OSH principles for nano and advanced materials development. In particular, production and storage of FLG in liquid suspension or bound to a solid matrix should be preferred rather than in powder form. When not possible, a closed system with local exhaust ventilation is recommended.

Spanning a variety of ecosystems – from soils and rivers to oceans and polar ice – NPs interact with complex biological and geochemical processes, posing risks to organisms across multiple trophic levels. Despite their growing presence, understanding the behavior, transport, and toxicity of nanoplastics remains challenging due to their diverse physical and chemical properties as well as the heterogeneity of environmental matrices. Currently, nanoplastics are often studied alongside microplastics as a single, homogeneous group, which obscures the nuanced behavior of NPs, particularly in terms of their colloidal properties and interactions within ecosystems. This perspective aims to highlight the critical gaps in nanoplastics research, stressing the importance for field studies and advanced detection/quantification methods to better capture their behavior across environmental interfaces. We advocate for a more integrated approach that account for the dynamic interactions between nanoplastics and surrounding biological, chemical, and physical environments, especially across key ecological gradients. Furthermore, long-term and transgenerational studies are essential to assess the chronic impacts of low-concentration nanoplastics exposure. Innovative and appropriate methodologies are needed to explore NP fate, transport, and toxicity in realistic environmental conditions. By combining advanced experimental tools, field studies, and ecological modeling frameworks, this paper outlines provides a roadmap for advancing our understanding of nanoplastics and their broader ecological impacts, ultimately shaping more effective environmental monitoring and mitigation strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18786,"journal":{"name":"NanoImpact","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 100544"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
