Nanotechnology is still not 100% safe
Many researchers believe that more studies and research need to be done in order to ensure the safety of nanomaterials that are used by humans. Unwanted health problems are the last thing scientists want to happen when doing a nanotech / nanomedicine procedure on a patient.
Some people say that nanomaterials aren’t safe, but generalization is of no use here. Each nanomaterial is different. That means that some aren’t dangerous, while some have some „bad“ signs.
There are many things that impact the nanomaterials’ behavior. One of them is how the material is being imported in the organism (mouth, nose or skin).
Testings on zebrafishes are giving a lot of information to scientists and they hope that the whole process will grow in the future and that they will be able to improve the safety.
