Abstract

Nanotechnology is a growing field that explores the interactions between engineered nanoparticles and ecosystems, with a focus on soil health and biodiversity. Engineered nanoparticles are intentionally designed at the nanoscale and offer unique properties and diverse applications, making them increasingly prevalent in consumer products and industrial processes. However, their release into the environment has raised concerns about potential ecological consequences, particularly their impacts on soil health. Studies have shown that engineered nanoparticles can have complex effects on soil microbial communities and nutrient cycling, with responses ranging from positive to adverse. Additionally, their ability to be absorbed and translocated by plants brings upon questions about their potential bioaccumulation in food chains and their effects on higher trophic levels. Understanding these intricate interactions is crucial for developing sustainable nanotechnology applications that can benefit agriculture and environmental remediation without compromising the ecosystem health. Nanoecology is an emerging field that requires attention to ethical and regulatory considerations in the use of nanomaterials. To ensure that these advanced technologies contribute positively to the ecosystem, researchers and policymakers must address these aspects. By understanding the complex interactions between nanoparticles and ecosystems, nanoecology offers the potential for innovative solutions that promote sustainable coexistence between nanotechnology and the natural world. This study specifically focuses on the relationship between engineered nanoparticles and soil health profiling. It provides a concise overview of this relationship, emphasizing the importance of responsible nanoparticle use. Additionally, the study highlights the need for monitoring soil health in soils contaminated with nanoparticles. Overall, this research underscores the significance of considering ethical and regulatory factors in the use of nanomaterials. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of nanoparticles on soil health and the need for responsible practices in their application.
