Nanoparticles – known and unknown health risks

Investigation of antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to control diseases and health management in aquaculture systems

Today, the role of aquaculture in food production, economic development and food security is well known, but this industry still faces many challenges, including the prevalence of pathogens in farming systems. So far, various chemical, physical and biological methods have been used to control and prevent the spread of pathogens in farming environments, some of which are unfortunately not widely...

Health effects of inhaled engineered and incidental nanoparticles.

Engineered nanoscale materials provide tremendous promise for technological advancements; however, concerns have been raised about whether research of the possible health risks of these nanomaterials is keeping pace with products going to market. Research on nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes, semiconductor crystals, and other ultrafine particles (i.e., titanium dioxide, quantum dots, ir...

Effects of Nanoparticles on the Environment and Outdoor Workplaces

Today, most parts of different nanotechnologies are growing and developing without any special rules and regulations. This could result in undesirable changes in the environment and affect workers in indoor and outdoor workplaces. Carbon-based nanoparticles, such as fullerenes, nanotubes, the oxides of metals such as iron and titanium, and natural inorganic compounds, including asbestos and qua...
