Overview
ABSTRACT
Manufactured nanomaterials represent a booming sector in scientific research and industry. The extremely rapid developments of nanomaterial and manufactured nanoparticles exposes these nano-objects to an ever growing population (industrial operators, laboratory staff). The studies which have been conducted to date have identified several factors contributing to the toxicity of these new generation products, the size and number of particles and even the presence of certain contaminants. However, due to the state of current knowledge, it appears extremely difficult to predict or assess their respective importance.

INTRODUCTION
Nanomaterials and manufactured nano-objects are rapidly expanding areas of scientific research and industry.
The extremely rapid development of manufactured nanomaterials and nanoparticles means that a growing number of people are potentially exposed to manufactured nanomaterials, from operators in industrial environments (nearly 3,270 in industrial production) to research laboratory staff (around 7,000 overall).
Hence the need to consider their safety aspects.
