The extensive application of nanomaterials in a wide range of products for human use poses a potential for toxicity risk to human health and the environment. Such adverse effects of nanomaterials on human health have triggered the development of a new scientific discipline known as “nanotoxicity” – the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNanotoxicity: From\u003c\/i\u003e in vivo \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e in vitro \u003ci\u003eModels to Health Risks\u003c\/i\u003e provides up-to-date state-of-the-art information presented by recognized experts in this emerging new field in toxicology. It discusses the safety evaluation of nanomaterials in foods, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics and other regulated products and its use in risk analysis for potential regulatory use.
