Welcome to the NANO-Health.info web site. The purpose of this site is to provide information on topics of interest related to nanotechnology and health issues, but more importantly to provide links to other relevant sites with important information on various topics of Nano-Health. The Issues page provides additional information about various concerns that have been raised regarding nanotechnology. The linked web sites have been selected as those that have additional, reliable information. With the ability
Health related issues are a concern for an technology, but especially so for a technology that is still in its infancy where its material characteristics may be completely unknown. This topic - Nano-Health - is part of a broader topic of safety. NANO-SAFETY requires many things: knowledge of effects, understanding of particle behavior, toxic effects depending on the application, residual impact on the environment, etc. The areas of understanding can be characterized in a number of categories, which include:
This site and its sister site, www.nano-safety.info - are focused on bringing factual information in their respective topics to the general public. Most sites that address these topics are focused at the researchers and convey the information that is normally of a highly technical nature. There is great promise that applications of gold either nanoparticles or carbon nanotubes will provide a means of destroying cancer without the side effects of the current treatment regimes. We hope you find this helpful.
