Abstract
Nanoparticles are defined as particles with at least one spatial dimension of less than 100 nm. This characteristic of nanoparticles is related to the fact that the majority of its atoms are on its surface. This gives the nanoparticle a strong exchange surface (surface-specific) that leads to particular physical and chemical properties. These properties can lead to specific but poorly understood biological effects if they come in contact with living objects. There are a variety of sources of nanoparticles: natural nanoparticles (as produced by volcanic fumes), those produced unintentionally by humans (diesel exhaust particles or particles from welding fumes), and those produced intentionally for new properties (manufactured nanoparticles). In this article, we will discuss these different kinds of nanoparticles.
