Abstrakt: This comprehensive review focuses on various dimensions of nanoparticle toxicity, emphasizing toxicological characteristics, assessment techniques, and examinations of relevant studies on the effects on biological systems. The primary objective is to comprehend the potential risks associated with nanoparticles and to provide efficient strategies for mitigating them by consolidating current research discoveries. For in-depth insights, the discussions extend to crucial aspects such as toxicity associated with different nanoparticles, human exposure, and nanoparticle deposition in the human respiratory tract. The analysis utilizes the multiple-path particle dosimetry (MPPD) modeling for computational simulation. The SiO 2 nanoparticles with a volume concentration of 1% and a particle size of 50 nm are used to depict the MPPD modeling of the Left upper (LU), left lower (LL), right upper (RU), right middle (RM), and right lower (RL) lobes in the respiratory tract. The analysis revealed a substantial 67.5% decrease in the deposition fraction as the particle size increased from 10 nm to 100 nm. Graphical representation emphasizes the significant impact of exposure path selection on nanoparticle deposition, with distinct deposition values observed for nasal, oral, oronasal-mouth breather, oronasal - normal augmenter, and endotracheal paths (0.00291 μg, 0.00332 μg, 0.00297 μg, 0.00291 μg, and 0.00383 μg, respectively). Consistent with the focus of the review, the article also addresses crucial mitigation strategies for managing nanoparticle toxicity.
