NANOTOXICOLOGY: TOXICOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF NANOMATERIALS

the rapidly development of nanotechnology is likely to become new sources

of human or environmental hazards through inhalation, ingestion, skin uptake, or

injection of engineered nanomaterials in workplace or the use of consumer products. So

far, research results suggest that nanoparticles may cause adverse effects on human

health at their portal of entry, which show difference from the bulk materials of the

same chemical composition.
