Deciphering the pathways for evaluation of nanotoxicity: Stumbling block in nanotechnology

Nanosafety has been a subject of scrupulous indagation attributed to the ambiguity in terms of harmonizing and perceiving the nano risk evaluation. Nanotoxicity is an emanate pigeonhole of nanotechnology. The burgeoning of commercial products grafted with engineered nanomaterials has been escalated...
