Nanotoxicology is the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials. Because of quantum size effects and large surface area to volume ratio, nanomaterials have unique properties compared with their larger co
Pathways of exposure to nanoparticles and associated diseases as suggested by epidemiological, in vivo and in vitro studies.

A carbon nanotube is a tube made of carbon with a diameter in the nanometre range. They are one of the allotropes of carbon. Two broad classes of carbon nanotubes are recognized:
