Nanoparticles of zinc oxide present in sunscreens could prove toxic if consumed accidentally, according to a study.
Philip Moos and colleagues note that there is ongoing concern about the potential toxicity of nanoparticles of various materials, which may have different physical and chemical properties than larger particles.
