How Do These Methods Address Safety and Environmental Concerns?
Safety and environmental concerns are paramount in nanotechnology. Test methods help in assessing the toxicological profile and environmental impact of nanomaterials. For instance: - In vitro and in vivo assays are used to evaluate the bioactivity and toxicity of nanoparticles. - Techniques like AFM and SEM can assess how nanomaterials interact with biological cells. - Ecotoxicological tests help in understanding the impact of nanomaterials on ecosystems.
