Engineered nanomaterials especially titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nanoTiO2) are increasingly used in wide variety of commercial products and industrial processes. This study found toxicity of nanoTiO2 on tadpoles of Asian Common toad. Toxic effects include mortality, development delays and tissue alterations in the gut and liver. Results indicate that release nanoTiO2 could pose negative impacts to amphibian populations.
