Study suggests nanoparticles cross into the placenta
A team of UK researchers have used an in vitro model to show that nanoparticles may be able to cross into the placenta. The research team, led by Margaret Saunders at St Michael’s Hospital in Bristol, UK, investigated a range of iron oxide and silica nanoparticles and...GreenScreen™ hazard assessment of silver and nanosilver demonstrates what we know, what we don’t, and what we’d like to know before we get too cozy with nanomaterials
Although there have been numerous published reports and reviews of the hazards of nanosilver and other nanomaterials, the results of this project, using GreenScreen™ established methods, are to our knowledge the most comprehensive systematic hazard screen of...New study shows overuse of nano-silver could help breed superbugs
Friends of the Earth has renewed its calls for a ban on the use of nano-silver in consumer products, after a new a UNSW study has found that overexposure to silver nanoparticles can cause potentially harmful bacteria to rapidly adapt and flourish. The study, published...Save the silver for where it’s needed
For nearly a century we have used antimicrobials to wage a war on bacteria. We have learned to fight off these ‘enemies’ by using stronger and stronger antibiotics and other antimicrobial weapons. As bacteria have found ways to resist the lethal effects of...Crazytech
Stupid technologies we don't need.....
And that could destroy life on Earth.
