Engineered nanomaterials — advanced materials used in everything from electronics and air filters to cosmetics and medicines — are part of our everyday lives. But more research is needed to determine in what levels, combinations and concentrations of exposure that these materials are safe for humans, as well as the human risk throughout the lifecycle of these advanced materials.
