Abstract: Abstract. Carbon nanomaterials are among the best known and most promising products of the nanotechnology movement. Some early studies suggest that fullerenes and nanotubes may pose significant health risks, and this has given rise to an emerging literature on carbon nanotoxicology. This young field has now begun to yield insight into toxicity mechanisms and the specific material features involved in those mechanisms. This paper explores the potential to alter those material features through post-processing or… Show more

“…Carbon is generally deemed non-toxic in simple forms such as activated charcoal, and used for physisorption of organics in filters, water purification and detoxifying formulations. Moreover, it has been observed that the body is able to clear foreign objects whose lengths are comparable to or less than the diameter of phagocytic cells (10 – 20 µm) 28. However, carbon nanostructures have attracted a great deal of attention and controversy over their potential toxicity.…”

“…Moreover, it has been observed that the body is able to clear foreign objects whose lengths are comparable to or less than the diameter of phagocytic cells (10Ϫ20 m). 28 However, carbon nanostructures have attracted a great deal of attention and controversy over their potential toxicity. Recent reviews have highlighted the fact that early work on the toxicology of carbon nanomaterials has reached contradictory conclusions and raised more questions than it has answered.…”

“…Therefore, problems associated with plant medicines can be overcome with nano-sized drug delivery systems (NDDS) of herbal drugs, having a potential future for enhancing their activity. Hence, including nanocarriers as an NDDS in conventional medicine systems would be necessary to combat more chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, asthma, and others, with the aid of herbal drugs [5,6,7].…”

“…It is recommended in the literature more specifically that NP be confined and contained through manufacturing system design [26,28,30,32] as well as during system operation and maintenance. Special attention is needed where maintenance, handling and packaging personnel are involved, since ergonomically poor postures increase the risk of losing control of loads [33].…”
