Abstract

The emerging development of nanotechnology has introduced many kinds of nanomaterials, including the carbon nanotubes that has been used in biological applications, biomedical, electronics etc. But, these materials can cause unexpected biological interactions, so we should examining the potential impact on the environment and human health caused by the interaction between the nanomaterial and pollutants. In this context, the project aims evaluate the eco / genotoxicity of multi-walled carbon nanotube in the presence of azo dyes and 1-nitropyrene.
