Immunotoxic effects of engineered nanomaterials used in the Australian workplace

某些经过工程处理的纳米材料比它们的块状材料毒性更大。我们迫切需要重新设计这些纳米材料的能力，以减少它们的毒性和潜在的健康风险，但缺乏必要的知识。该项目直接针对NHMRC纳米技术与健康战略倡议，通过系统研究澳大利亚工业中使用的金属氧化物纳米颗粒的免疫效果，为设计更安全的纳米材料提供必要的信息。

Certain engineered nanomaterials are more toxic than their bulk material forms. We urgently need the ability to re-engineer these nanomaterials to reduce their toxicity and potential health risks, but lack the necessary knowledge. This project directly addresses the NHMRC Strategic Initiative on Nanotechnology and Health, by providing essential information for designing safer nanomaterials from systemically studying the immune effects of metal oxide nanoparticles used in Australian industry.
