Nanotoxicity occurs when biological system induces toxic biological responses due to the interaction with the properties of nanostructures either physical properties, chemical properties or both. Nanostructures include Nanoparticles, Nanotubes, Nanometals, Nanowire, Nanoballs and Nanocapsules etc [2]. In simple language, Nanotoxicology is the study of adverse effects which are caused by nanomaterial [3].
