There is an urgent need to investigate the mechanisms of action of NMs and to develop testing strategies to assess potential environmental and human hazard. Our study has shown that metal nanoparticles such as iron oxide may induce genotoxic effect. It was inferred that coating and surface properties influence NPs cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.
迫切需要研究纳米材料的作用机制，并制定测试策略来评估其潜在的环境和人类危害。我们的研究表明，氧化铁等金属纳米粒子可能会引起遗传毒性。据推断，涂层和表面特性会影响纳米颗粒的细胞毒性和遗传毒性。
