Exposure to nanoparticles can lead to numerous neurological risks. These include:
Oxidative Stress: Nanoparticles can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress and cellular damage. Inflammation: Nanoparticles can trigger inflammatory responses in neural tissues, potentially causing neurodegenerative diseases. Disruption of Cellular Functions: Nanoparticles can interfere with cellular functions, leading to apoptosis or necrosis of neural cells. Neurotoxicity: Some nanoparticles may have inherent neurotoxic properties, damaging neurons and glial cells.
