Are there any health effective of using nanoparticles in agriculture or animals productions, on the animal then self or the humane, and do the nanoparticles accumulated inside the body like tissue and organs ?
Any one have idea about the health effects of using MgO ، SiO2 nanoparticls on human and animal?
Hi Oadi,...in general, a strange material entering our body always gives two-side effect, including nano particles (NP's) and depending on the dosicity. For example, Both nutritive and product quality, and shelf life of the animal products can also be enhanced through the use of NP's materials. On other hands, It has a potential to affect vital organs (you can read : .Medina C, Santos-Martinez MJ, Radomski A, et al. Nanoparticles: pharmacological and toxicological significance. Br .J. Pharmacol 2007;150:552-8). Regarding on accumulation in tissue or organ body, since living creatures have majority of water and protein, of course, it would be probably accumulated. The effect of MgO.SiO2 NP's please read this article : ijerph-11-05720.pdf (Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2014, 11 ).
SiO2 and some other associated compounds may cause slilcosis.

Generally, nanoparticles have size effects on human body, because of their size and their permeability into body and vessels
Silica nanoparticles are safe and also used in some drug formulations as excipient. In general size of the particles also matters for biomedical applications stable nanoparticles up to 250 nm are considered good as they can be cleared by kidneys.
By definition of IUPAC particles larger 100 nm are not nanoparticles, only if they are at least in one dimension 100 nm or smaller.
