@ Waldemar, if you use nanoparticles in recommended doses then it is not harmful. But while using you have to use nitrile gloves and mask for your safety. Because inhaled nanoparticles in the body may include lung inflammation and heart problems.
Waldemar Łasica The obvious (and unhelpful!) answer is 'It depends'. It depends on the chemical make up, form, and the 4S's (size, shape, surface, solubility)...
The distinct features of synthesized nanomaterials, not only confer crucial benefits, they also cause toxicity due to unfavorable interactions with several biological compartments and cellular processes.

Some nanoparticles can penetrate the skin, although the extent of penetration depends on their size, surface properties, and other factors. This raises concerns about the potential skin irritation, sensitization, or systemic effects.
Studies have shown that some nanoparticles exhibit toxic effects, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and disruption of cellular functions. However, the toxicity of nanoparticles is highly dependent on their specific properties and the dose received.
It highly depends on the protocol synthesis, their concentration, and their shape. At certain concentrations, NPs exhibit toxicity toward cells
The toxicity of nanoparticles depends on various factors such as their size, surface properties, and chemical composition. Particles in the nano-size range can enter the human body through the lungs, intestines, and skin. Inhaled nanoparticles can deposit throughout the respiratory tract and may cause lung inflammation and heart problems. The health risks associated with different nanoparticles should be studied, and a set of high throughput and low-cost tests should be constructed to identify hazardous nanoparticles. The characteristics of nanoparticles that are relevant to health effects include their size, chemical composition, and surface properties.
