What Factors Influence Nanoparticle Bioaccumulation?
The bioaccumulation of nanoparticles is influenced by several factors:
Size and Shape: Smaller nanoparticles or those with high aspect ratios may penetrate biological membranes more easily. Surface Chemistry: Functionalized nanoparticles with specific surface coatings can have different affinities for biological tissues. Solubility: Nanoparticles that are less soluble may persist longer in the environment and within organisms.
