As of now, work is ever increasingly and successfully proceeding on the development of nanotechnologies andpromis nanomaterials. By 2015, the nanotechnology product market may be expected to amount to US $ 1.2-2.9 trillion. Nanotechnology as a set of methods for the controlled manipulation of material objects with the sizes of less than 1 nano meter makes it possible to use a substance with a traditional chemical composition to design structures in the nanomt range (nanomaterials) and to endow them with fundamentally new properties, such as unique mechanical streng special spectral, electrical, magnetic, chemical, and biological characteristics.Among the main domains for applications of nanomaterials, we should now single out optics, power engineering, searches, wildlife conservation, etc. The specific physicochemical properties of nanomaterials suggest that they can toxic to humans. That is the reason that society should be keenly aware of what the nanomaterials are. Despite the fact that nanomaterials have been already used worldwide for more than 10 years, none kind has k fully investigated for its safety in any country
