Nanotoxicology
Nanotoxicology is the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials. The nanomaterials are made of inert elements like gold which is very active at a nanometer range.
Nanotoxicological studies will determine about the threatening of the environment and human beings. The cardiovascular system has been damaged by diesel nanoparticles. Titanium dioxide, alumina, zinc oxide, carbon black, and carbon nanotubes, are some of the typical nanoparticles.
Nanoparticles can be divided into
1. Combustion-derived nanoparticles (like diesel soot)
2. Manufactured nanoparticles (like carbon nanotubes)
3. Naturally occurring nanoparticles (volcanic eruptions).
