Concerns about surface area being a better determinant of na ...

Some researchers suggest that biological activity of nanoparticles will depend on physico-chemical parameters not routinely considered in toxicity screening studies.

Nanopollutants

Nanopollutants are nanoparticles small enough to enter your lungs or be absorbed by your skin. Nanopollutants can be natural or man-made. Nanoparticles are used in some of the products found on shelves today, like anti-aging co...

Nanoparticles have a potential to contribute to air pollution

Recent research suggests that systemic access of ultrafine insoluble particles may induce adverse reactions in the cardiovascular system, and other organs.

Calls to standardise nanomaterials and methods for monitorin ...

Some recent studies demonstrate that results obtained with specific assays for toxicity may have been invalidated by the presence of investigated nanoparticles leading to false-positive outcomes.
