In article number 1907690, Sijie Lin and co‐workers investigate the environmental hazard potential of nano‐photocatalysts, TiO 2 and g‐C 3 N 4 using the model organism zebrafish. With light irradiation, nano‐photocatalysts produce detrimental reactive oxygen species that would only exert adverse effects upon close nano‐bio interactions. The toxicity outcome is greatly influenced by light energy, water depth and the concentrations of natural organic matter.
