About Nano Toxicology

Nano Toxicology is the study of the toxicity of Nano materials. Nano toxicology is the branch of Nano science. Nanomaterial (NMs) is generally defined as a substance having particles with at least one dimension of 1–100 nm in length. The toxicity of nanomaterial is classified mainly into two types-Biological Toxicity and Environmental Toxicology. Nano toxicology may cause Colon cancer, Asthma, Atherosclerosis, High blood pressure, Auto- immune diseases etc. Some of the particle features such as size of the particle, surface chemistry, and oxidative stress functions play important roles in Nano-toxicity.
