Nanotechnology will be particularly useful in cancer treatment.
You answered:
Correct answer: True
Materials on the nanoscale are increasingly being researched to
reach cancer cells with great specificity.
-
Dendrimers are nanoparticles, which show branching.
You answered:
Correct answer: True
The term ‘dendritic’ comes from the Greek word
for tree, δεντρο,
and is related to the branching character of polymers.
-
Which are POSSIBLE risks of nanotechnology today
You answered:
Correct answer: D. waste nanoparticles may end up in groundwater, rivers, and lakes where they kill off fish and other wildlife
Nanoparticles wastes can reach the environment and evetually
affect the food chain if preventive measures are not in place.
-
What type of nanomaterial is used in the widest variety of
nanotechnology products on the market today, according to the
Project's Consumer Products Inventory?
You answered:
Correct answer: B. silver
Silver nanoparticles can be found on a wide range of products
currently available in the market, from nursing scrubs to bone
replacement products.
-
Nanotechnology is risky concerning new health problems
You answered:
Correct answer: YES
Due to the lack of knowledge on exposure and toxicity to
nanoparticles, as well some research on animals and in-vivo
studies exposures to nanoparticles, there is the potential for
health problems.
-
At the nanoscale a material can have different properties
compared to its bulk form
You answered:
Correct answer: True
Nanoparticles posess uniques propreties that differs from its
bulk form.
-
The way Nanoparticles do not enter the human body?
You answered:
Correct answer: C. Transportation
Transportation is not a route of entry of nanoparticles
-
In order to minimize the potential health effects of
nanoparticles, PPE may not be necessary.
You answered:
Correct answer: False
PPE is necessary in order to prevent exposure to nanoparticles
-
The use of nanoparticles is extremely safe in medicine and does
not require testing for safety.
You answered:
Correct answer: False
There are many uncertainties about health effects from the use
of nanoparticles. More research is needed on nanoparticle
toxicity.
-
Direct human health risk caused by a nanoparticle depends
on:
You answered:
Correct answer: All of the above
Potential health risks depends on probability of exposure,
concentration, durantion, frequency and on routes of exposure.
