The potential health impacts of nanoparticles are not fully understood, but early studies indicate that they could pose risks. Due to their small size, nanoparticles can penetrate biological membranes and reach cells and tissues that larger particles cannot. This can lead to cytotoxicity, inflammation, and even genotoxicity. The long-term exposure to nanoparticles, especially through inhalation or skin contact, remains a significant area of concern and requires more research to understand the full range of their health implications.
