Surfactants play a crucial role in various industrial applications, including detergents and personal care products. However, their widespread use raises concerns due to potential environmental impact health risks, particularly aquatic ecosystems, where they can disrupt the balance of marine life accumulate water sources, posing challenges sustainable development. This study investigates implications anionic nonionic surfactants, focusing on toxicity, biodegradation, skin irritation profiles, especially when combined with silica nanoparticles. Toxicity assessments were conducted using bacteria Vibrio fischeri for toxicity Lepidium sativum seeds terrestrial plant effects, revealing that individual surfactants like alkyl ether carboxylic acid EC-R12-14E3 exhibit high levels, while fatty-alcohol ethoxylate FAE-R12-14E11 shows comparatively lower impact. The surfactant mixtures was analysed, both antagonistic synergistic effects depending used. addition nanoparticles generally mitigates overall whether used individually or mixtures. Biodegradation studies followed OECD 301E 301F guidelines, indicating meet approach mineralization threshold, whereas reduced biodegradation efficacy. Potential predicted through zein number (ZN), finding some combinations reduce highlighting safer formulation products come into direct contact skin.

Surfactants, a group of amphiphilic molecules (i.e. with hydrophobic(water insoluble) as well hydrophilic(water soluble) properties) can modulate interfacial tension. Currently, the majority surfactants depend on petrochemical feedstocks (such oil and gas). However, deployment these produces high toxicity also has poor biodegradability which cause more environmental issues. To address concerns, current research is moving toward natural resources to produce sustainable surfactants. Among available resources, Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) preferred choice for industrial scenarios meet their goals sustainability. CNSL an extracted from non-edible cashew nut shells, doesn't affect food supply chain. The unique structural properties diverse range use cases are key developing eco-friendly that replace petro-based Against this backdrop, article discusses various state-of-the-art developments in cardanol-based such anionic, cationic, non-ionic, zwitterionic. In addition this, efficiency characteristics analyzed compared those synthetic (petro-based). Furthermore, present paper focuses market aspects different applications industries.
