The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection (2020, background): “For example, the long-term environmental and health impacts of nanomaterials remain active areas of research (Colvin, 2003; Klaine et al. 2008; Lead et al. 2018).”
Nanomaterials and Water Purification: Opportunities and Challenges (2005, background): “Not much is known about the environmental fate, transport and toxicity of nanomaterials ( Colvin, 2003; Lecoanet et al., 2004a,b).”
In vitro toxicity of nanoparticles in BRL 3A rat liver cells. (2005, background): “The major toxicological concern is the fact that some of the manufactured nanomaterials are redox active (Colvin, 2003), and some particles transport across cell membranes and especially into mitochondria (Foley et al., 2002).”
Manufactured Nanomaterials (Fullerenes, C60) Induce Oxidative Stress in the Brain of Juvenile Largemouth Bass (2004, background): “…of fullerenes and engineered nanomaterials: a) some manufactured nanomaterials (especially the fullerenes) are engineered to be redox active (Colvin 2003); b) nano-sized particles partition into cell membranes and especially mitochondria both in vivo and in vitro (DeLorenzo 1970; Foley et…”
