Human exposure to nanoparticles is increasing. Further research is needed to understand the toxicological risks and biological interactions of manufactured nanoparticles.

Area of Science:

  • Nanomedicine
  • Toxicology
  • Materials Science

Context:

  • Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field with increasing industrial applications.
  • Widespread use of nanotechnology leads to inevitable human exposure to nanoparticles.
  • The upper aerodigestive tract is a primary site of initial nanoparticle interaction in the human body.

Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of the applications and health effects of nanoparticles.
  • To highlight the limited in-vitro investigations on nanoparticle effects on oral and nasal mucous membranes.
  • To emphasize the need for case-related risk evaluation due to nanoparticle heterogeneity.

Summary:

  • Nanoparticle exposure can impact the upper aerodigestive tract, with effects contingent on particle characteristics and exposure duration.

  • In-vitro studies indicate that nanoparticles can induce inflammation, allergic responses, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity.
  • Current toxicological risk assessment for nanoparticles is insufficient, necessitating further investigation into biological interactions and tissue permeability.

    • Impact:

    • This overview underscores the critical need for comprehensive toxicological evaluations of nanoparticles.
    • It calls for case-by-case risk assessment due to the diverse properties of nanoparticles.
    • Further research into biological interactions and tissue permeability is crucial for understanding nanoparticle health effects.
