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...

Abstract Nanotoxicology remains an important and emerging field since only recent years have seen the improvement of biological models exposure setups toward real-life scenarios. The appropriate analysis nanomaterial fate in these conditions also required methodological developments imaging to become sensitive enough element specific. In last 2–4 years, impressive breakthroughs been achieved us...

Emerging fields such as nanomedicine and nanotoxicology, demand new information on the effects of nanoparticles on biological membranes and lipid vesicles are suitable as an experimental model for bio-nano interaction studies. This paper describes image processing algorithms which stitch video sequences into mosaics and recording the shapes of thousands of lipid vesicles, which were used to ass...

The aquatic ecosystem is the final destination of most industrial residues and agrochemicals resulting in organisms being exposed to a complex mixture contaminants. Nanomaterials (NMs) are increasingly applied many technologies sectors, so there an increasing concern about negative impacts NMs environment after their interaction with co-contaminants. Consequently, toxicology has been gaining at...
