Abstract
Nanotechnology has been highly valued for the last two decades as it involves a wide spectrum of research and industrial activities from fundamental to applied sciences. Nanoparticles can be produced from different materials in different shapes such as spheres rods wires and tubes according to their applications in environmental biotechnological and biomedical field. Various physical and chemical processes have been exploited in the synthesis of several inorganic metal nanoparticles by wet and dry approaches. However these methodologies remain expensive and involve the use of hazardous chemicals. Therefore there is a growing concern for the development of alternative environment friendly and sustainable methods. Increasing awareness towards green chemistry and biological processes has led to a necessity to develop simple cost-effective and eco-friendly procedures. Phototrophic eukaryotes such as plants algae bacteria and some viruses have been reported to synthesize greener nanoparticles. The purpose of this short review is to study the major types of nanoparticle synthesized and used so far the possible applications of these nanoparticles in biological and environmental research and the potential environmental and health impacts associated with the use of these nanoparticles.
