Özet
Nanomaterials of different sizses and diameters are frequently used in various industrial areas, due to the rapid development of nanotechnology. Hence, it leads to toxic effects on the environment and non-target organisms. Due to the increasing use of nanotechnology in the industrial field, it is inevitable that the rate of release of engineered and natural nanomaterials in the atmosphere increases. This makes it important to investigate the effects of the developing industrial product on the environment, human, animal, and plant health. In recent studies, it has been revealed that nanomaterials taken into the organism especially by respiratory tract are densely accumulated in cells and tissues due to their small size compared to other bulk materials. Due to the release of nanomaterials to the environment through emissions and commercial products, they reach wastewater treatment plants and surface water, posing a major threat to the environment and non-target organisms. Insects are groups of living things that make up a large population of both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of nanomaterials are of great importance in these living groups. Bioaccumulation of nanomaterials begins with the accumulation of nanoparticles in the organism and is then transferred to other organisms through the food chain. Therefore, both aquatic and terrestrial insects constitute an important part of this chain. This chapter will focus on the toxicological effects of nanomaterials on terrestrial and aquatic insects and their impacts on human and environmental safety. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
