Bio-Toxicity of Materials at the Nanoscale Level

Over the past decade, nanomaterials have been the subject of enormous interest. Nanomaterials notable for their extremely small feature size, have the potential for wide-ranging of applications. Nanomaterial is a field which takes a materials science- based approach to nanotechnology. It studies materials with morphological features on the nanoscale and especially those which have special properties from their nanoscale dimensions. The particle size and surface area are important material characteristics from a toxicological perspective. In this paper, the definitions, types, transformation and toxicity mechanisms of nanomaterials are summarized. Subsequently, the toxicity potential of nanomaterials on plants and microbe also detailed. K.
