👉 NP (Nanoparticles) refer to extremely small particles, typically less than 100 nanometers in size, which can be found in various environments such as air, water, and soil. These particles pose unique health risks due to their ability to penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream, potentially causing inflammation, oxidative stress, and other adverse effects. The term "NP fumes" is not a standard scientific term but can be used colloquially to describe the inhalation of these tiny particles, which are often released from industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and combustion activities. Exposure to NP fumes can lead to respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and long-term health complications, making their regulation and control crucial for public health.
