Nanomaterials and nanoparticles: Sources and toxicity
TL;DR: A review of the toxicity of nanoparticles is presented in this paper, with the goal of informing public health concerns related to nanoscience while raising awareness of nanomaterials toxicity among scientists and manufacturers handling them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanomaterials and nanoparticles: Sources and toxicity
TL;DR: This review reveals the result of life’s long history of evolution in the presence of nanoparticles, and how the human body has adapted to defend itself against nanoparticulate intruders, while raising awareness of nanomaterials’ toxicity among scientists and manufacturers handling them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles: a review of current toxicological data
TL;DR: itanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are manufactured worldwide in large quantities for use in a wide range of applications and there is an enormous lack of epidemiological data regarding TiO2 NPs in spite of its increased production and use.

Toxicity of nanomaterials
Shahriar Sharifi,Shahed Behzadi,Sophie Laurent,M. Laird Forrest,Pieter Stroeve,Morteza Mahmoudi,Morteza Mahmoudi +6 more
TL;DR: A critical review of the biophysicochemical properties of various nanomaterials with emphasis on currently available toxicology data and methodologies for evaluating nanoparticle toxicity suggests that NPs may need to be sequestered into products so that the NPs are not released into the atmosphere during the product's life or during recycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial activity of the metals and metal oxide nanoparticles
Solmaz Maleki Dizaj,Farzaneh Lotfipour,Mohammad Barzegar-Jalali,Mohammad Hossein Zarrintan,Khosro Adibkia +4 more
TL;DR: Books indicated that the particle size was the essential parameter which determined the antimicrobial effectiveness of the metal nanoparticles, and further studies should be performed to minimize the toxicity of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles to apply as proper alternatives for antibiotics and disinfectants especially in biomedical applications.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of semiconductor photocatalysis
Andrew Mills,Stephen Le Hunte +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the field of semiconductor photocatalysis can be found in this paper, where a brief examination of its roots, achievements and possible future is presented, and the semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) features predominantly in past and present work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing the Cytotoxicity Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots.
TL;DR: This work found that CdSe-core QDs were indeed acutely toxic under certain conditions and modulated by processing parameters during synthesis, exposure to ultraviolet light, and surface coatings, and suggests that cytotoxicity correlates with the liberation of free Cd2+ ions due to deterioration of the Cd Se lattice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary Toxicity of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes in Mice 7 and 90 Days After Intratracheal Instillation
TL;DR: Results show that, for the test conditions described here and on an equal-weight basis, if carbon nanotubes reach the lungs, they are much more toxic than carbon black and can be more Toxic than quartz, which is considered a serious occupational health hazard in chronic inhalation exposures.

TL;DR: It is concluded that inhaled 99mTc-labeled ultrafine carbon particles pass rapidly into the systemic circulation, and this process could account for the well-established, but poorly understood, extrapulmonary effects of air pollution.
