What Are the Challenges in Assessing the Toxicity of Nano-sized Particles?
Assessing the toxicity of nano-sized particles presents several challenges. Traditional toxicological tests may not be suitable for nanoparticles due to their unique properties. Additionally, the lack of standardized methods for characterizing and testing nanoparticles makes it difficult to compare results across studies. There is also a need to consider the life cycle of nanoparticles, from production to disposal, to fully understand their environmental and health impacts.
