Editor’s summary
There are challenges on nanotoxicology that need to be taken care of properly. Materials that might prove to be significantly toxic must be identified. A system for the categorization of nanomaterials must be codified and made available to toxicologists. Also better understanding of nanomaterials biological interactions must be obtained. As requiring toxicologists to become nanotechnology experts would not be feasible, to properly incorporate the care of nanotoxicity into the existing medical framework, a range of experts across multiple fields of study must work in close synchronization. The focus needs to be on mechanism-driven research to ensure a solid scientific foundation for the assessment of nanomaterials and their role in healthcare.
