Are There Specific Nanoparticles That Are More Harmful?
Yes, certain nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles, have been shown to be more harmful than others. For example, carbon nanotubes have been found to cause lung damage similar to that caused by asbestos. Silver nanoparticles, widely used for their antibacterial properties, can be toxic to human cells.
