QUESTION

Nanoparticles appear to have a very bright and meaningful future in the world; however, what is one potential issue with nanoparticles?

a. Development of the field of nanoinformatics and nanomedicine is difficult.
b. Creation of nanoparticles has not yet come to full fruition.
c. There are cytotoxicity and ethical concerns regarding the use of nanoparticles.
d. No methods exist to successfully combat cytotoxicity and clearance of nanoparticles.

ANSWER:

ANS: C
A potential issue with nanoparticles is that there are cytotoxicity and ethical concerns regarding the use of them. Development of the field of nanoinformatics and nanomedicine is difficult, creation of nanoparticles has not yet come to full fruition, and the lack of methods to successfully combat cytotoxicity and clearance of nanoparticles are not potential issues with nanoparticles.
