What are the effects of nanomaterials on the body?
Actions of ultrafine particles (UFP) on the body: nanomaterials (NM)

Published studies show that nanomaterials interact at the cellular level, so caution is advised.

Toxicological data are numerous, highly disparate and of uneven quality. They are constantly evolving.

• Nanoparticles and nanotubes behave differently in the biological environment, particularly in terms of transfer to the organism and cellular response.

• Differences are also observed according to the nature and properties of the nanomaterials in each category, often with the same chemical composition.

• As with penetration and distribution in the body, the reactivity of nanomaterials in the biological environment depends on several physico-chemical parameters that characterize them, without it being possible at present to distinguish which is the main parameter....
