Abstract
In nature, nanoparticles can be found as natural or synthetic. Nanoparticles may form either physically or chemically. Nanoparticles are uniform types of common material whose dimensions are less than 100 nm. Volcanic ash, ocean spray, fine sand, and dust are some examples of natural nanoparticles. Synthetic nanoparticles, also known as anthropogenic nanoparticles, are engineered nanoparticles that are specifically designed to study various physiochemical features for research purposes
