Biological Prophylaxis in the System of the Management of Occupational Risk Due to Exposure of Metal-Containing Nanoparticles

Abstract

With taking into account the biological toxicity of metallic and metal oxide nanoparticles to be a well-established fact, the widespread use of nanotechnologies and the significant proportion of nanoscale particles in industrial aerosols released during many pyrometallurgical and electric welding processes determine the importance of searching for approaches to increase the organism's resistance to them. Results of a number of experiments show the application of combinations of some bioactive agents composed in accordance with sound theoretical premises and used in innocuous doses to be potent of the significant attenuation of the integral and specific toxicity of metallic nanoparticles and even their genotoxicity. Further research followed by practical application of the results is a promising trend in the occupational risk management strategy. 漏 小OLLECTIVE OF AUTHORS, 2017
