16 April 2024

Read the latest Nanopinion by Dr. Ester Carregal-Romero, Prof. Jesús-Cabello, and Dr. Susana Carregal-Romero where they introduce the benefits of Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach for nanomaterials and present applications of Calcium Carbonate in new biomedical systems.

Nanomaterials and health

 

ImageNanomaterials and health

Are substances in nanoforms more dangerous than they are in their normal size? Some are and some are not. Just like any other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed separately.
