Abstract: Nanotechnology is a new field of science that produces extremely small structures from organic or inorganic materials. These nanoparticles can be used in many fields: medicine, foods, cosmetics, clothing, constructions, furniture, not only in the making of electronics or in the automotive industry. Because of their special properties nanoparticles, also known as nanomaterials, can revolutionize all fields in which they are used. But the domain in which they can bring the most important benefits for human life is medicine. Nanoparticles can be used in the medicine field in the production of drugs and vaccines, and also in diagnostic and investigative tools, etc. Nanomaterials are used with great success in imaging and in the construction of medical devices. Many European citizens have legitimate concerns about the safe use of nanoparticles in medicines. All these concerns can be put aside only through thoroughly testing all the medicines that contain nanoparticles before they will be put on the market for general use.
