The ever‐promising opportunities and the uses of NP in our life are increasing but their present and future potential risks on the animals, plants and microorganisms are not well discussed elsewhere. In this review, the authors have systematically discussed the toxic effect of the uses of NP on animals, plants and microorganisms including human health. They have also discussed about the bioaccumulation of these NP in the food chain. Finally, they have provided some possible suggestions for the uses of NP to reduce the detrimental effect on the environment.
