Summary/Abstract: The progress made in recent years in the field of nanotechnology has led to the development of many types of nanostructures whose impact on human health and the environment is still being studied. An area that is practically little recognized in scientific research is the effect of nanomaterials on the human endocrine system. The article presents the results of some studies indicating the potential effects of the engineering nanomaterials as substances that may interfere with homeostasis and the regulatory mechanisms of the endocrine system.
