[Nanotechnologies: prediction of the possible negative effect of insoluble nanoparticles on the body].

In addition to the devices given in the guidelines of the Russian Inspectorate for the Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Welfare "Evaluation of the Safety of Nanomaterials" (2007) to characterize the biological activity of nanoparticles, one should use a chemiluminometer, a cheaper and easy-to-use device that gives unique information on the activation of the nonspecific bactericidal system of phagocytes in contact with nanoparticles. According to the nature of activation, all nanomaterials can be divided into 5 classes of potential hazard and carcinogenicity.
