SUMMARY:INDO-US WORKSHOP ON NANOTECHNOLOGY: APPLICATIONS AND IMPLICATI
 ONS
DESCRIPTION:The nanomaterials (NM) are finding their way into variety 
 of applications such as cosmetics, agriculture, bioremediation, nanome
 dicine, energy etc. However, little is known about the potential adver
 se health effects to humans and the environment. There are few toxicol
 ogical studies that have addressed the effects of NM in different orga
 nisms and environments, which raise concerns about the adverse effects
  on biological systems.The main physical characteristics of NM are the
 ir size, which falls in the transitional zone between individual atoms
  or molecules and the corresponding bulk materials. This can modify th
 e physicochemical properties of the material as well as create opportu
 nity for increased uptake and interaction with the biological tissues.
  The widespread applications of NM have aroused great concern about th
 eir safety. As suggested by researchers the NMs enter in the living sy
 stem through oral, dermal and inhaltion routes. The size, shape, dimen
 sions surface area, crystallinity, solubility, composition and bio-res
 istance together determine the toxicity of NM. Currently, few symposiu
 m/workshops are being held to discuss toxicological aspects of nanomat
 erials in India. In south of India, this is the first International wo
 rkshop to be held in order to arrange a platform to hold discussions a
 nd interactions with national/international researchers/experts on saf
 ety aspects of nanomaterials and come out with suitable methodologies 
 to assess their toxicity.\n\nFor more information visit http://www.nan
