The nanotechnology claims to be a universal technological revolution. The manganese iron oxide (MnFe2O4) is among the nanotechnological materials in focus, due to its unique magnetic and electric characteristics, such as superparamagnetism. Even though, like any other new technology, its potential benefits may be accompanied by hazards and risks of anthropogenic and occupational exposure to this class of nanomateriais. In order to assess its cytotoxic and genotoxic potential in this scenario, and to ascertain if factors such as concentration, time of exposure, synthesis route and coating used ...
