公共卫生学院开设“纳米毒理学”的必要性初探

纳米科技的飞速发展对人们的生活产生了重要的影响。纳米材料为人们生活提供便利的同时,也对人类的健康、生态和环境造成潜在的负面影响。由于公共卫生与预防医学专业处于保卫人类健康的重要位置,高校应当顺应社会发展需求在预防医学本科生教学内容中及时普及纳米毒理学专业知识。而目前国内绝大多数高校公共卫生与预防医学专业的本科生并没有接受纳米毒理学知识的系统教育。因此,亟须在教学中开展“纳米毒理学”课程,为未来纳米毒理学的研究奠定坚实基础,并为纳米毒理学的发展提供人才储备。

On the Necessity of Offering the Course of Nanotoxicology in the School of Public Health

The rapid development of nanotechnology has had an important and far-reaching impact on people’s lives.While providing convenience for people,nanomaterials also have potential negative effects on human health,ecology,and environment.As the major of public health and preventive medicine is in an important position to safeguard human health,colleges and universities should conform to the needs of social development to popularize the professional knowledge of Nanotoxicology among undergraduates in response to the needs of social development.Unfortunately,at present,the vast majority of undergraduates majoring in public health and preventive medicine in domestic universities have not received the systematic education on Nanotoxicology.Therefore,it is urgent to set up this course in order to lay a solid foundation for the future research of Nanotoxicology and provide talent reserve for the development of Nanotoxicology in our country.
