Abstract | ||||
Purpose : The practice of forensic pathology, forensic psychiatry, forensic odontology, forensic radiology, and forensic toxicology are all included in the multidisciplinary field of forensic medicine. The items involved in or produced by the crime are referred to as evidence, and the location where the crime was committed is known as the crime scene. The proof could be digital, chemical, or biological. Forensic technology is crucial in helping a team of forensic scientists analyze the evidence, judges, and prosecutors present evidence against offenders in a court of law. At crime scenes, a number of participants and samples have been collected for analysis. Revolutionary developments in crime scene investigation and evidence analysis have been made possible by the fusion of forensic science and nanotechnology. Nanotechnology provides innovative methods for identifying and lessening the impact of harmful compounds in the body in the setting of toxicology. Materials in the nanoscale, like nanoparticles and nanosensors, have special qualities that can be used to identify and treat poisoning. Conclusion : Even though nanotoxicology technology has advanced significantly, there are still a number of issues that need to be resolved. These include regulatory obstacles related to the clinical translation of nanomaterials as well as worries about their safety and biocompatibility. Furthermore, to guarantee broad adoption, the scalability and cost-effectiveness of nanotechnology-based techniques must be thoroughly assessed. The dearth of knowledge regarding the biological and environmental effects of nano-waste produced from nanomaterials is especially worrisome. | ||||
