What Are the Challenges in Ecotoxicological Studies?
Several challenges complicate the assessment of ecotoxicological effects of nanomaterials, including:
Characterization of nanomaterials: Determining the properties and behavior of nanomaterials in different environmental media is complex. Standardization of methods: There is a lack of standardized protocols for testing nanomaterial toxicity. Long-term effects: Understanding the chronic and long-term effects of nanomaterials on ecosystems requires extended study periods.
