Abstract
Nanoparticles are extremely small particles with at least one dimension between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm). These nanoparticles consist of many disparate elements such as metal and polymers. Nanoparticles like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide play an important role in sunscreens. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are common active constituents found in many sunscreens. They are utilised in physical sunscreen because of their ability to protect skin from UV light. Being exposed to sunlight for a long time may rise the peril of skin diseases and lead to skin lesions. The nanoparticles have an negative effect on human and environment. These potential risks should be concerned by the public and these risks still need to be researched by the scientists. Nanoparticles have the potential to impact the environment. For instance, silver and copper nanoparticles used in consumer products can be released into the environment via wastewater and accumulate in soil and water bodies.
