Ballesteros Medicina Nanoparticle nanotoxicology nanopollutants risk assessment Nanotechnology is one of the fastest growing and most promising technologies in our society. Due to its potential to develop new added value products, a growing number of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are already available on the market. However, in contrast to their benefits, there is an on-going debate about their potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. Such rapid proliferation however entails a crucial environmental problem due to an expected increase of the concentration of ENMs in the environment. The current concentration of ENMs remains unknown and poorly researched. In addition, toxicological studies pointed out adverse effects on key species and communities. Activities supporting the characterization of the concentration of ENMs in the environment will improve the protection of the environment. This paper conducte a thorough review of current data on the concentration of ENMs in the environment, demonstrating the presence of ENMs in freshwater, where quantities above 76 µg/L were estimated in peer reviewed publications. 2018 artículo científico 0212-7113 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=91960137002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/919/91960137002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/919/91960137002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/919/91960137002/91960137002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/919/91960137002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=919 Revista de Toxicología application/pdf Asociación Española de Toxicología Revista de Toxicología (España) Num.2 Vol.35 |
