ISO Publishes Procedure for Detecting Reactive Oxygen Species Generated by Metal Oxide Nanomaterials
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recently announced publication of standard ISO/TS 18827:2017, “Nanotechnologies — Electron spin resonance (ESR) as a method for measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by metal oxide nanomaterials.” The introduction states that the use of metal or metal oxide-based nanomaterials has dramatically increased in biomedical and industrial applications. The scientific basis for the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of most...
