The incorporation of nanomaterials into agricultural practices has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance crop productivity, improve pest management, and optimize resource utilization. However, the increasing use of these advanced materials raises critical concerns regarding their potential environmental toxicity and long-term ecological impacts. Nanomaterials, defined by their size (1-100 nanometers), exhibit unique properties that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts, leading to unpredictable interactions with soil, water, and living organisms. [1] While their benefits in agriculture are widely recognized—such as targeted delivery of nutrients and pesticides—their behavior in the environment and effects on non-target species remain inadequately understood. This study aims to evaluate the environmental toxicology of nanomaterials used in agriculture, highlighting the need for thorough risk assessments to ensure safe implementation in agricultural systems.
