Abstract

Tong Sui*

The rapid advancement in nanotechnology has led to the widespread use of Nanoparticles (NPs) in various industrial, medical and consumer products. While nanoparticles offer numerous benefits, their potential toxicity to human health is a growing concern, particularly regarding respiratory exposure. The interaction of nanoparticles with airway epithelial cells is a critical area of study, as these cells are the first line of defense against inhaled substances. This article examines the effects of nanoparticles on airway epithelial cells and evaluates the toxicity assessment techniques employed to study these interactions.
