Toxicity, therapeutic applicability, and safe handling of magnetic nanomaterials

Abstract Nanotechnology is a fast-growing field with the broad application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in different facets of modern human life being a perfect example. MNPs have recently emerged in many industrial technologies and devices related to biomedical, environmental, and clinical disciplines. Such a variety of critical applications of MNPs triggered new important areas of research; this chapter is primarily focused on three main themes: (1) basic characteristics of long-term interaction/behavior between MNPs and biological life, (2) pros and cons of their toxic effects on human cells, and (3) state-of-the-art techniques for safe disposal/recycling of consumed MNPs. Additionally, we highlight the importance of some toxic characteristics of MNPs in cancer treatment through hyperthermia phenomena. We also discussed the importance of MNPs in targeting cancer cells and their application in modern chemotherapy strategies.
