Nanotoxicology and Categorize Nanomaterials

Dr. Nargish Julious

Nanotoxicology is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field that investigates the potential toxic effects of nanomaterials on biological systems. It involves the study of interactions between nanomaterials and biological systems, including cells, tissues, and organisms, to determine the potential hazards associated with exposure to nanomaterials.

The unique properties of nanomaterials, such as their small size and high surface area, can lead to enhanced reactivity and toxicity compared to bulk materials. Additionally, their ability to enter cells and tissues can lead to adverse effects on various biological processes, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage. Nanotoxicology employs a range of techniques, including in vitro and in vivo models, to assess the safety and potential risks associated with nanomaterials. These techniques include the evaluation of the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, such as size, shape, surface charge, and composition, as well as their interactions with biological systems.
