Preface
In recent years, nanotechnology has exhibited exponential growth in various sectors to accomplish market commodities with higher prospective applications. The small size particles (nanomaterials) are rapidly being used in manufacturing of products of our daily life such as biosensors, cosmetics, food packaging, imaging, medicines, drug delivery, and aerospace engineering, etc., and these products are coming in the global market approximately at the rate of 3–4 per week. In spite of manifold benefits of the power of nanomaterials, there are open questions about how the small size materials affect the environment and human health, while very few reports are available on the hazards of nanoparticles. Compared to the bulk counterpart, the small si
