Perspective
A pathologist's view on nanotoxicology
Author(s): Shophia Collins*
Nanotechnology, a new technology encompassing the tiniest known manufactured items, has emerged as a result of advances in chemistry and engineering. These items are gaining traction in the market and look to be on the verge of revolutionising engineering, cosmetics, and medicine. Unfortunately, nanotoxicology, which studies the health impacts of nanoparticles, lags behind breakthroughs in nanotechnology. Over the last decade, research of first generation nanotechnology goods have complemented previous literature on ultrafine particles and respirable durable fibres Nanosizing appears to enhance the toxicity of numerous particles, according to these research. First, when particle size reduces, surface area rises, speeding up soluble particulate dissolution and exposing more of the reactive surface of durable yet reactive particulates. Second, nanosizing allows particles to get through .. Read More»
