Nanotoxicology invites contributions addressing research relating to the potential for human and environmental exposure, hazard and risk associated with the use and development of nano-structured materials. In this context, the term nano-structured materials has a broad definition, including ‘materials with at least one dimension in the nanometer size range’. These nanomaterials range from nanoparticles and nanomedicines, to nano-surfaces of larger materials and composite materials. The range of nanomaterials in use and under development is extremely diverse, so this journal includes a range of materials generated for purposeful delivery into the body (food, medicines, diagnostics and prosthetics), to consumer products (e.g. paints, cosmetics, electronics and clothing), and particles designed for environmental applications (e.g. remediation). It is the nano-size range if these materials which unifies them and defines the scope of Nanotoxicology .

While the term ‘toxicology’ indicates risk, the journal Nanotoxicology also aims to encompass studies that enhance safety during the production, use and disposal of nanomaterials. Well-controlled studies demonstrating a lack of exposure, hazard or risk associated with nanomaterials, or studies aiming to improve biocompatibility are welcomed and encouraged, as such studies will lead to an advancement of nanotechnology. Furthermore, many nanoparticles are developed with the intention to improve human health (e.g. antimicrobial agents), and again, such articles are encouraged. In order to promote quality, Nanotoxicology will prioritise publications that have demonstrated characterisation of the nanomaterials investigated.

納米毒理學誠邀投稿，研究與納米結構材料的使用和開發相關的人類和環境暴露、危害和風險。在此背景下，納米結構材料一詞具有廣泛的定義，包括“至少有一維在納米尺寸范圍內的材料”。這些納米材料包括納米顆粒和納米藥物，以及較大材料的納米表面和復合材料。正在使用和正在開發的納米材料種類繁多，因此本期刊涵蓋了一系列用于有目的地輸送到體內的材料（食品、藥品、診斷和假肢），消費品（例如油漆、化妝品、電子產品和服裝），以及專為環境應用（例如修復）而設計的顆粒。這些材料的納米尺寸范圍將它們統一起來并定義了納米毒理學的范圍。

雖然“毒理學”一詞表示風險，但《納米毒理學》雜志還旨在涵蓋提高納米材料生產、使用和處置過程中安全性的研究。我們歡迎和鼓勵進行良好控制的研究表明納米材料沒有暴露、危害或風險，或旨在提高生物相容性的研究，因為此類研究將推動納米技術的進步。此外，許多納米粒子的開發目的是改善人類健康（例如抗菌劑），同樣，我們也鼓勵發表此類文章。為了提高質量，《納米毒理學》將優先考慮那些已證明對所研究納米材料進行表征的出版物。
