Nanotechnology has many potential applications in medical, agriculture, electronic and sports industries. Nonetheless, there is actually little knowledge on toxic effects of nanomaterial. Here we review nanotoxicity, action mechanisms and fate of nanomaterials. We discuss the impact of nanotoxicity on microbes, plant, animal and human health, and factors like size, shape, surface charge, composition, ionic concentration and physiological. We explain the detection of nanotoxicity at cell and genome levels. Toxicities of commercial nanomaterials, risk management, rules and regulations regarding marketed nanoproducts are also summarized.
