Being highly persistent and toxic, their indiscriminate use over the years has posed a severe threat to human health and ecological stability. These are labelled as hazardous classes of chemical compounds by the WHO. Though many of these pesticides are slowly phased out in most developed countries, these are still in use in most developing countries amidst a lack of stringent regulations, making it necessary to monitor their concentration levels. Complex matrix coupled with low concentration levels make pesticide monitoring quite challenging. Though sensitive and highly accurate, the currently established detection methods are time-consuming and quite expensive, rendering them inaccessible for wide-scale routine analysis. Nanomaterials (NMs), with their exceptional physicochemical properties, have emerged as promising tools for detecting OPPs and OCPs. Unusual structural manipulations in NMs lead to them exhibiting distinct electrical and optical properties. This review details the hazardous impact of some commonly used OPPs and OCPs. It explores the use of functionalized nanomaterials, including metal nanoparticles, nanozymes, nanocomposites, carbon-based nanostructures and metal–organic frameworks in their detection. The study provides a comprehensive insight into the role of nanomaterials in achieving lower detection limits up to the nanomolar range through enhanced signal responses in spectroscopic, electrochemical and optical techniques and potential for on-site analysis. Challenges associated with these methods and future directions for developing even more robust and practical nanomaterial-based sensors for organophosphate and organochlorine pesticide detection have been discussed.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><img></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":653,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanoparticle Research","volume":"27 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143706898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But their widespread use is a source of concern with regard to toxicity. The primary toxicological effects of AgNPs are due to oxidative stress causing cellular damage, DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. The interaction of these AgNPs with cellular membranes generates reactive oxidative species (ROS) and interferes with homeostatic redox balance and induces the apoptotic pathway. AgNPs toxicity is influenced by many factors, including particle size, surface modification and synthesis method. Typically, smaller AgNPs are more toxic; however, surface modifications with biocompatible agents can reduce some of the harmful effects. Possibilities of creating AgNPs with lower toxicities using green synthesis methods through plant extracts and other natural agents are promising. However, while these developments are important, more effort is needed to fully understand how AgNPs exert their toxicity, assess various aspects of their safety and optimize their use for therapeutic or industrial purposes.

Despite the establishment of intravenous thrombolysis as the main line of treatment three decades ago, and the subsequent advent of endovascular therapy, most patients remain disabled. While nanomedicine has shown considerable promise in the management of strokes over the years, there remains a gap between the numerous preclinical studies and the paucity of related clinical trials. In the last five years, around 250 articles described preclinical nanomedicine-based approaches to tackle AIS. These articles explore multiple directions to alleviate AIS, including firstly neuroprotection, followed by the use of thrombolysis through various approaches. Notably, they show a broad variety in the in vivo model choice as well as key readouts, making comparison across protocols difficult. Moreover, relevant data for clinical translation is often lacking, such as biodistribution and organ toxicity, pharmacokinetics, or stability of the proposed nanomaterials. On the other hand, only a few clinical trials have involved nanoparticles, with mixed results. Thus, it can be proposed that among the obstacles hindering the clinical application of the often-promising nanomaterials, the major challenges are the insufficient characterization of nanomaterials including storage, stability, biodistribution, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics; diversity of in vivo protocols, hyper-focused ischemia–reperfusion damages compared to thrombolysis; and a necessity to acknowledge the complexity of AIS thrombi when designing a therapeutic approach.
