Chemical Detection of the Toxicity of Nanoparticles of Metals and Metal Oxides

Abstract

The wide applications of nanoparticles increased the demand for their risk assessment, a number of studies on the diverse effects of nanoparticles on various systems have been published. This review provides an overview of the mechanisms of cellular uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) and the advanced toxicological studies of the nanoparticles of metals and metal oxides on various systems (in-vitro and in-vivo).
