Describing the impact of nanoparticles (and microparticles) on human and animal health, this study offers the first criteria for preventing potential problems deriving from these particles. As nanoparticles are more or less voluntarily produced, they are almost uncontrollably disseminated in the environment and in organisms, and thus constitute a growing concern, which this volume addresses.
