An overview of the toxicity properties of carbon nanomaterials  aimed at helping to avoid detrimental health effects while laying  the groundwork for further research in this highly relevant field.  
  Summarizing recent research, the book starts with the synthesis and  functionalization of carbon nanomaterials, as well as  identification and detection in biosystems. It then moves on to the  interaction between carbon nanoparticles and biocomponents,  focusing on the toxicity and mechanisms to various organs and  systems. Each section highlights the challenges, outlines  unanswered questions, and suggests directions for further research  and development efforts.
