Nanotoxicology
Toxicology is important in the field of damage to the health of workers exposed to nanomaterials, since effects have been evidenced in various parts of the body and it is known that workers, employers and others need answers in order to meet their objectives without harming nobody´s health.
Here we must give great importance to the OECD because they were the ones who started the studies in 2006. Following these studies that demonstrated carcinogenicity of nanoparticles; These studies were carried out between the years 2008-2013.
The issue of safety stems from toxicology because many of the effects caused are toxic, but being in nanotechnology, the term nanotoxicology was created in 2004, where an important field is given to the respiratory system, especially to the respiratory tract, because this system is the target system, thus giving the lung and alveoli as target organ; this is because nanoparticles are breathable and at the point where they reach the lung, they are spread to secondary organs. Here it is understood that nanoparticles create cardiovascular effects.
To fully understand the toxicity of nanoparticles, it is important to know that they have several factors to determine if they are aggressively toxic, such as:
- The size.
- The shape.
- Porosity.
- Chemical composition.
This part must be fundamental in the world because with the help and studies of nanotoxicology, a gap can be closed where the health of workers is not harmed and naotechnology can be used in medical applications.
