Abstract
Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at nanoscale dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nm, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Due to unique physicochemical characteristics of NPs, inconsistent toxicological data have been generated even from well-established in vitro models. The respiratory tract is the major route for humans to exposure of nanomaterials. The chapter briefly describes the overview, key points, and relevant text that are in the format of problem-solving study questions followed by multiple-choice questions (MCQs) along with their answers.
