Nanomaterials and Safety Concerns to End Users
A. Ale, S. Municoy, J. Cazenave, M.F. Desimone
Nanomaterials (NM) are part of the daily life since decades, and the advantages that nanotechnology has brought to humanity in relation to the novel nanoproducts with unique properties are undeniable. However, concern about engineered NM has raised because of the lack of both regulation to the increasing production and safety assessments in users (with emphasis on workers). As robust evidence suggests toxic effects of NM on human health in case of exposure, this chapter aimed to describe not only the main applications and benefits of NM but also their fate, exposure pathway, and ultimate toxicological effects.
