The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in treatment of diseases have increased exponentially recently, giving rise to the science of nanomedicine. The safety of these NPs in humans has also led to the science of nanotoxicology. Due to a dearth of both readily available models and precise bio-dispersion characterization techniques, nanotoxicological research has obviously been constrained. However, the ensuing years were notable for the emergence of improved synthesis methods and characterization tools. Major advances have been made in linking certain physical variables, paralleling improvements in characterization size, shape, or coating factors to the resulting physiological reactions. Although significant progress has been a contribution to the development of nanotoxicology, however, it faces numerous difficulties and technical constraints distinct from those of conventional toxicological assessment as it attempts to improve the therapeutic effects of medicines. Determining thorough characterization standards, standardizing dosimetry, assessing the kinetics of ions dissolving and enhancing the accuracy of correlation efficiency, also defining restrictions on exposure protection are some of the most important and pressing concerns. This article will explore the past advancement and potential prospects of nanotoxicology, standard models, emphasizing significant findings from earlier studies and examining current challenges, giving insight on the way forward.
