Vigilance needed in nanotechnology
University of Calgary chemist finds right mix of tools to measure nanomaterials in blood vesselsUniversity of Calgary chemistry professor David Cramb is a step closer to helping solve a complex problem in nanotechnology: the impact nanoparticles have on human health and the environment.Cramb, director of the Faculty of Science's nanoscience program, and his researchers have developed a methodology to measure various aspects of nanoparticles in the blood stream of chicken embryos.
"With the boom in nanomaterials production there is an increasing possibility of environmental and/or human exposure. Thus there is a need to investigate their potential detrimental effects," says Cramb. "We have developed very specialized tools to begin measuring such impacts."
"Bioaccumulation studies involving embryos are being conducted in our laboratory," says Cramb.
