Abstract

Nanogenotoxicity is an emergent field, relevant for estimating the potential genotoxic risk of nanomaterials. In this study we investigated the genotoxic potential of zinc oxide (ZnO, Keywords: Zinc oxide nanoparticles, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, Allium cepa, comet assay, genotoxicity, DNA damage
