Literature data and own research results related to nanotechnologies, pharmacological and toxicological properties of nanoproducts are summarized. Today maintenance of environmental protection requires introduction of «green» nanotechnologies into practice. Safe nanotechnologies can radically change the production processes, reduce their negative impact on the environment, and replace hazardous materials and methods of their production in different branches of human activity, including drugs.
