Occupational Exposure of Nanoparticles In Forensic Science: A Need Of Safe Use
Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Science & Pathology (IJFP) - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The rapid advancement in nanotechnology sets new paradigms in science and technology, but simultaneously increased apprehensions about the health risks of nano-objects. Recently, various types of nanoparticles used in several areas of forensic including paint, inks, security document and to develop the latent fingerprint. Objective: Despite bright outlooks of nanoparticles used in various fields of forensic science, an increasing occupational as well as laboratory exposure of nanoparticles to workers and lab personnel, respectively, may lead to significant adverse health effects in the form of serious diseases. Conclusion: Therefore, in this review, an attempt was made to discuss the positive and negative consequences of nanoparticles, to resolve their adverse effects which make them safer for forensic applications.
