Abstract

Nanooxides, due to their invisibility have found interesting applications in various basic fields of life like: Food, textile, Paint and cosmetic industries. Commonly used among these oxides are ZnO, TiO2 and Ag2O. This paper attempts at reporting the toxic impact of these oxides on living beings like micro-organisms, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. These nanooxides show various detrimental effects which are carried throughout the food chain.Study or application of these or any other forms of nanooxides should be undertaken after complete investigation about their toxicology.
