What Are the Types of Nanoparticles That Can Be Toxic?
Not all nanoparticles are toxic, but certain types have been shown to possess toxic properties. These include metallic nanoparticles (such as silver, gold, and titanium dioxide), carbon-based nanoparticles (like carbon nanotubes and fullerenes), and quantum dots. The toxicity of these nanoparticles depends on factors such as size, shape, surface charge, and chemical composition.
