NanoToxicology
Scientific discipline involving the study of the actual or potential danger
presented by the harmful effects of nanoparticles on living organisms and
ecosystems, of the relationship of such harmful effects to exposure, and
of the mechanisms of action, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of intoxications
