Quantum Dots and Applications
Toxicity assessment is the process of evaluating the harmful effects of substances, including their potential to cause adverse health effects in living organisms. This evaluation is crucial for understanding how materials, such as quantum dots used in bioimaging, can impact cellular and systemic functions. An accurate toxicity assessment helps in identifying safe dosages and minimizing risks associated with exposure, ensuring that the benefits of using these materials outweigh potential harms.
