Nanotoxicology: Current Issues and Future Directions

Nanotechnology is a flourishing science that produces and designs materials at the nanoscale, which ranges from 1 to 100 nanometers. They are commonly known as nanomaterials or nanoparticles. Physical properties that characterize nanoparticles include shape, crystal structure, and solubility properties. These properties affect the behavior, fate, and transport, and ultimately the toxicity of nanomaterials or nanoparticles. They are examined and assessed whether and to what degree they are a threat to the environment or society. nbsp;
