What are the Methods for Health Impact Assessment?
Health impact assessment focuses on understanding the potential toxicological effects of nanomaterials on human health. This involves in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate:
- Cytotoxicity: Effects of nanomaterials on cell viability. - Genotoxicity: Potential of nanomaterials to cause genetic mutations. - Immunotoxicity: Impact on the immune system. - Inhalation and Dermal Exposure: Risks associated with exposure through skin contact or inhalation.
