Calgary -- A Canadian scientist says he and his colleagues have developed a way to measure nanomaterials in blood vessels.
University of Calgary Professor David Cramb says his team's achievement means science is a step closer to helping solve a complex problem in nanotechnology: identifying the impact nanoparticles have on human health and the environment.
"With the boom in nanomaterials production there is an increasing possibility of environmental and/or human exposure. Thus, there is a need to investigate their potential detrimental effects," Cramb said. "We have developed very specialized tools to begin measuring such impacts."
