Abstract
The rapid advancement of nanotechnology has boosted the applications of TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) in various industries, resulting in their release into marine environments. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of recent findings on the adverse effects of TiO2 NPs in marine algae and zooplankton. Special attention is given to the underlying mechanisms of toxicity, including oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and disruptions in cellular processes. This review consolidates recent scientific evidence to underscore the emerging concerns surrounding the adverse effects of TiO2 NPs in marine aquatics, emphasizing the urgency of further research and the implementation of precautionary measures to protect marine ecosystems from potential harm.
