Abstract :
Unquestionably, the employment of nanotechnology in every enterprise depicts a future for sustainable development due to the cheap and clean availability of nanomaterials. Evidently, the researchers have largely centered on the blessings of nanomaterials in cosmetics and food industries failing to center the negative effects it could impose on human fitness and the environment. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one such nanoparticle that despite its elite properties, is responsible for the generation of oxidative stress. This review compiles some significant research carried out for the assessment of accelerated oxidative stress markers and the presence of Titania traces in human samples and sea organisms; manifesting the way they are damaging the living mechanisms. The release of the nanoparticles into the environment somehow advances towards land and water contaminating the soil, rivers, and oceans and having a derogatory effect on the natural running phenomena of soil organisms, sea algae, and mussels. This review presents the latest findings and indicates making some strategies to reduce the use of nanomaterials to a significant but limited amount making sure that it is not responsible for any impairment to the humans and its surroundings.
