Could Nanotechnology Produce Deadly Nanoparticles?
By
Most nanotechnology poses no known risk to humans but some researchers question whether nanoparticles may be different, because they are known to be able to cross over into areas of the body that larger particulates, which humans are exposed to every day, cannot reach. A very interesting read for those who follow nanotechnology.
anotechnology companies need to do more to understand potential toxic effects of their products, a senior UK researcher has warned. Professor Anthony Seaton, of Aberdeen University, said “very little” was still known about the health impacts of particles engineered at small scales. His concern over nanoparticles covered production and lab workers as well as consumers, he told a conference.
