toxicological effects

Are All Nanomaterials Equally Toxic?

No, not all nanomaterials have the same level of toxicity. Factors such as composition, size, shape, surface charge, and coating materials significantly influence their toxicological profile. For instance, carbon nanotubes have been found to cause asbestos-like effects in the lungs, while some gold nanoparticles may be relatively biocompatible.
