NANOTOXICOLOGY- assessing the risks of emerging technology
Nanotechnology is considered as one of the key technologies of the 21st century and promises revolutionizing the world. Only engineered particles such as metal oxides, fullerenes, nanotubes under 100nm fall under the category of nanoparticles. This implies that some particles that occur naturally or are by products of other processes such as carbon black, fire…
