Abstract

• Novel probability–impact framework ranked dietary risks from engineered nanoparticles. • Production, exposure, persistence and toxicity integrated using probabilistic scoring. • Ag, TiO 2 , ZnO, CNTs, CeO 2 , and CuO identified as highest-priority nanoparticles. • PEC and production are the most sensitive drivers influencing nanoparticle risk ranking. • Framework supports regulatory screening, monitoring priorities and targeted testing.
