Parallel Session 6A:Toxicology and human health risks
A strict relationship between the toxicity of fiber-like nanomaterials and their aspect ratio emerges from the fiber paradigm. As a consequence, fiber shortening is expected to reduce material toxicity. Titanium dioxide nanofibers (TiO2NF) are a novel fibrous nanomaterial, used in several industrial applications but still requiring complete toxicological characterization. We evaluated the...
