Outline of reasons and objectives
Nanoparticles of synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) are produced in large quantities worldwide (1 million metric tons/year) and they have numerous industrial uses. SASs can be broken down into two main types depending…

Crystalline silica and asbestos have both been classified as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). However, because of the limited data available, amorphous silica was not classifiable.
On the other hand, in vitro…
