ABSTRACT
Nanoecotoxicology is an emerging eld of nanotechnology that is still in its infancy [1]. The peculiar nature of nanomaterials (NMs), which may underlie either greater chemical reactivity or even entirely new physico-chemical properties, relative to their bulk equivalent, is a cause of concern for potential adverse biological effects [2-4]. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been named the Jekyll and Hyde of materials science, owing to their unique chemical, electrical, optical, and physical properties [5].
