Our work aims at development of fundamental understanding of cytotoxicity of semiconductor NPs to human health and provides a comprehensive database and clear definition of ESH-problematic manufactured nanomaterials. Based on the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model we plan to establish, problematic nanomateirals from industrial manufacturers could be predicted, identified, and effectively modified to produce environmental benign semiconductor nanomaterials.
