Nanotoxicology is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that focuses on environmental exposure, hazard, and risk of applied nanostructured materials. [1] It publishes research that addresses the potentially toxic interactions between nanostructured materials and living matter.
Nanotoxicology is a sub-specialty of particle toxicology. Nanomaterials appear to have toxicity effects that are unusual and not seen with larger particles, and these smaller particles can pose more of a threat to the human body due to their ability to move with a much higher level of freedom while the body is designed to attack larger ...
Much of Grainger's current research is focused on two drug delivery device issues: Drug device integration, [8] and nanotoxicology; [9] however, his research portfolio is quite diverse. His work in nanotoxicology (the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials) ranges from testing drug toxicity in vitro, [ 10 ] to investigation of infections caused ...
The health and safety hazards of nanomaterials include the potential toxicity of various types of nanomaterials, as well as fire and dust explosion hazards. Because nanotechnology is a recent development, the health and safety effects of exposures to nanomaterials, and what levels of exposure may be acceptable, are subjects of ongoing research.
A review of works on fullerene toxicity by Lalwani et al. found little evidence that C 60 is toxic. [1] The toxicity of these carbon nanoparticles varies with dose, duration, type (e.g., C 60, C 70, M@C 60, M@C 82), functional groups used to water-solubilize these nanoparticles (e.g., OH, COOH), and method of administration (e.g., intravenous, intraperitoneal).
Nanotribology is the branch of tribology that studies friction, wear, adhesion and lubrication phenomena at the nanoscale, where atomic interactions and quantum effects are not negligible.
Since the study of the detrimental health effects of nanoparticles (nanotoxicology) is still in its infancy, and the nature and extent of negative health impacts from diesel exhaust continues to be discovered, it remains controversial whether the public health impact of diesels is higher than that of petrol-fueled vehicles. [65]
Nanotoxicology is the field which studies potential health risks of nanomaterials. The extremely small size of nanomaterials means that they are much more readily taken up by the human body than larger sized particles. How these nanoparticles behave inside the organism is one of the significant issues that needs to be resolved.
