Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Reviewer Comments to Author(s)

This review entitled “Fetotoxicity of Nanoparticles: Causes and Mechanism” summarizes adverse effects of nanoparticles on fetotoxicity. I feel that this review is well-written and valuable for readers in the fields of material and medical scientists. Although transplacental transport pathways of NPs are described in Figure 3, one point I would like to know is how NPs are accumulated in fetal tissues. Actively transferred from mother bodies or not? Other minor comments were as follows.

Line 70: What is the difference between NP-rich NR-DE and F-DE?  I cannot understand that NP-removed F-DE has similar effects on fetal weight and decreased fetal crown-rump length to NR-DE.
