Nanotoxicology - An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Nanoparticle Risk Assessment

Nanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles

Although humans have been exposed to airborne nanosized particles (NSPs; < 100 nm) throughout their evolutionary stages, such exposure has increased dramatically over the last century due to anthropogenic sources. The rapidly developing field of nanotechnology is likely to become yet another source through inhalation, ingestion, skin uptake, and injection of engineered nanomaterials. Informatio...

Nanotoxicology : An Emerging Discipline

Nanotoxicology refers to the study of the interactions of nanostructures with biological systems with an emphasis on elucidating the relationship between the physical and chemical properties of nanostructures with induction of toxic biological responses. Nanotoxicology is aimed at providing information on the potential toxicological effects, risk assessment and safety evaluation of nanostructur...

Gebel-criteria for risk assessment in nanotoxicology

Risk assessment of nanomaterials represents one of the cutting-edge topics in toxicology (Zhao et al., 2014; Lucafo et al., 2013; Fadeel et al., 2013; Kroll et al., 2012; Kim et al., 2012; Hadrup et al., 2012; Lange and Obendorf, 2012; Xu et al., 2013). Numerous nanomaterial containing consumer products have already been introduced on the market, including textiles, sunscreens, paints, car tyre...
