The increasing use of ENM in commercial products, from automobiles to printers, and industrial processes, from paints to electronics, makes their environmental and occupational exposures inevitable. nanoparticle emissions Preliminary evidence indicates the potential of nanoparticles to cross biological barriers and cause adverse health effects. In, our center we have the knowledge and the knowhow to mimic real world environments, collect and characterize particles as their produced and execute a series of relevant toxicological studies.
