Debunking some misconceptions about nanotoxicology.

摘要: Nanotechnology is currently undergoing an impressive expansion in material science research and development of systems that have novel properties due to their small size. Most the efforts been focused on applications, while implications (i.e., environmental health safety) lagged behind. As a consequence, success nanotechnology will require assurances products being developed are safe from environmental, health, safety standpoint. These concerns led debate among governmental agencies advocacy groups whether implementation special regulations should be required for commercialization containing nanomaterials. Therefore assessments nanomaterial-related risks must accurate verifiable. A mechanism conducting well-designed toxicology studies includes rigorous attention nanoparticle physicochemical characterization, as well consideration potential routes exposure, justification nano...
