Nanomaterials Versus Ambient Ultrafine Particles: An Opportunity to Exchange Toxicology Knowledge

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
There is now an opportunity to apply knowledge from NM toxicology and use it to better inform PM health risk research and vice versa.
Abstract
Background: A rich body of literature exists that has demonstrated adverse human health effects following exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM), and there is strong support for an importa...

The Toxicity of Nanoparticles Depends on Multiple Molecular and Physicochemical Mechanisms.

TL;DR: Characteristics of nanomaterials are discussed, with an emphasis on transition metal oxide nanoparticles that influence cytotoxicity, which may lead to the design of more efficient and safer nanosized products for various industrial purposes and provide guidance for assessment of human and environmental health risk.

A critical review of the current knowledge regarding the biological impact of nanocellulose.

TL;DR: Overall, the data seems to suggest that when investigated under realistic doses and exposure scenarios, nanocellulose has a limited associated toxic potential, albeit certain forms of nano cellulose can be associated with more hazardous biological behavior due to their specific physical characteristics.

Nanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles

TL;DR: Results of older bio-kinetic studies with NSPs and newer epidemiologic and toxicologic studies with airborne ultrafine particles can be viewed as the basis for the expanding field of nanotoxicology, which can be defined as safety evaluation of engineered nanostructures and nanodevices.
