Reviews and Advances in Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract―

An overview of the specific toxicity of nanoparticles as of 2023 is provided. The methods of synthesis, structure and properties of synthetic and anthropogenic inorganic nanoparticles are generalized; the state of the surface and the structuring effect that determine their specific toxicity are discussed. The use of nanoparticles in cosmetology and medicine, as well as the influence of nanoparticles of anthropogenic origin on technosphere safety, is considered.
