Effect of copper oxide nanoparticles on growth, morphology, photosynthesis, and antioxidant response in Oryza sativa (2016, background): “…differ from bulk counterparts in surface characteristics, such as copious reactive sites and mobility regulated by deposition or aggregation (Maynard et al. 2006) which is in turn dependent on pH, temperature, particle size, ionic strength, and concentration (Wiesner ——— Received 8…”
Assessing exposure to airborne nanomaterials: Current abilities and future requirements (2007, background): “Maynard et al. (2006a) have proposed a universal aerosol sampler that ‘would log exposure against aerosol number, surface area and mass concentration simultaneously, . . . would be portable, suffi- ciently inexpensive to ensure widespread use and available commercially within 3 years’.”
Effects of cell culture media on the dynamic formation of protein-nanoparticle complexes and influence on the cellular response. (2010, background): “10 Thus, the evaluation of the risk associated with nanoparticles (NPs) on human health has to be urgently faced.(11) However, NPs do not behave in solution as inert objects or soluble small molecules.”
Food-Grade Nanoemulsions: Formulation, Fabrication, Properties, Performance, Biological Fate, and Potential Toxicity (2011, background): “Currently, there is no standardized testing protocol specifically designed to assess the potential toxicity of nanoemulsions intended for utilization within food products (Maynard et al., 2006).”
A review of the in vivo and in vitro toxicity of silver and gold particulates: Particle attributes and biological mechanisms responsible for the observed toxicity (2010, background): “…or due to particle release from composites) and hazard assessments, associated with exposure to nanomaterials is necessary, and in particular, nanomaterial characteristics that are responsible for detrimentally affecting human health require identification (see for example, Maynard et al., 2006).”
The Toxicity Data Landscape for Environmental Chemicals (2008, background): “Of special interest are nanomaterials, which will require new standards for description (i.e., size, shape, composition, etc.) and may require entirely new approaches to thinking about cellular and organism-level toxicity (Maynard et al. 2006; Shaw et al. 2008).”
