Abstract in brief

Nanomaterials (NMs) are increasingly used in products and may contaminate aquatic environments, but their effects on amphibians are not well understood.
The review summarizes existing studies on how NMs affect amphibians, including potential genetic, developmental, and reproductive impacts, mainly using species like Xenopus laevis.
Findings highlight that NMs can cause oxidative stress and DNA damage in amphibians, and there is a need for standardized testing methods and more research on environmentally relevant concentrations and long-term effects.]
