Unfortunately, there is no simple 'yes' or 'no' answer to this question. There are lots of different aspects related to the Nanotechnology – the Risk Factors .
Dear all, I advise you to search within RG as Dr. Pierluigi Traverso suggestion. No one Can denay the nanoparticles toxicity but only when exposed to. Nanoparticles are applied in other fields rather than health care and drugs, exemple solar panels, agriculture, and so on. Research is still going on to find ways to coat nanoparticles with less harmfull materials so that they will be acceptable when administrated to the body. My Regards

Health Risks Of Nanotechnology: How Nanoparticles Can Cause Lung Damage, And How The Damage Can Be Blocked. Summary: ... However, concerns are growing that it may have toxic effects, particularly damage to the lungs. Although nanoparticles have been linked to lung damage, it has not been clear how they cause it
Dear all, Dr. Fares Khalifa, may be lung is not as sensitive as brain and the nervous system to the presence of nanoparticles, mainly those metals based. Generally, their irreversible sorption and the ability to breakthrough most membranes are the main mechanisms behind their destructing effects. My Regards
There are safety rules when working with any substances. First of all, the maximum permissible concentration of nanoparticles. The second is respirators. Then there will be no risks. There are other features, for example, nanoparticles of some metals are pyrophoric. During storage, they spontaneously ignite at room temperature in dry form. Typically manufacturers report unexpected properties.
In the health science, nanoparticles can cross the cell membrane and enter into the cell and may cause infection. So, during work with nanoparticles have to take safety measure for preventing the entrance of nanoparticles through the oral and nasal cavities. Thus, there is health risk during the synthesis/manufacturing the nanoparticles.
