Abstract

Nanotechnology has been applied to various fields in our life. Although there is a limitation of nanoparticle monitoring so far, it is expected that nanoparticles are widely distributed in environmental multimedia. Nanoparticle is known to be more toxic than its corresponding bulk material. For this reason, developed countries and international organizations are preparing for future regulation. To evaluate the safety of nanoparticles, nanotoxicity studies are internationally underway. In this study, we evaluated the research trends of ecotoxicity of nanoparticles in water environment. Test species include fish, water flea, and algae. Nanoecotoxicological studies are rapidly increasing and the experimental designs become more sophisticated. Physicochemical properties of nanoparticles should be measured and the ionization potential is important for metal-based nanoparticles. We analyzed the research trends based on the type of nanoparticles and test species. Also experimental aspects of nanoecotoxicology are considered.
