Nordberg, Bruce A. 4nm gold particles are toxic to DNA, probably because of interaction with the major groove in the DNA structure. Larger gold particles are less toxic. There is a large and expanding field of science characterizing the biological and toxicological properties of nanomaterials. In vitro studies and mathematical modeling are used for hazard ranking (Chapter 4). 3 Ecological and Natural Environmental Mobilization Processes The acidification of soil and lakes by sulfur and nitrogen oxides has increased the possibility of adverse effects of metals in the environment.
In nerves and muscles), and, in particular, activators or components of redox systems. Thus, some metals are essential elements, and their deficiency results in the impairment of biological functions. A considerable global burden of disease is related to deficiencies of zinc and iron (see Section 1). Essential metals, when present in excess, may be toxic (Chapter 14, “Essential Metals: Assessing Risks from Deficiency and Toxicity”). Gastrointestinal irritation occurs if high levels of ionic iron, zinc, or cadmium are ingested.
