Researchers from the UK’s University of Bradford have raised concerns about the dangers of some tattoo inks and their potential to cause illnesses, including cancers. Evidence has been found that nanoparticles from the ink can leave the skin (most likely via its dense...Nanoparticles could disrupt immune cell function
A new study suggests there is more to nanoparticle toxicology than cell life and death. Immune cells treated with nano iron oxide particles appeared healthy in standard toxicology tests. However, when exposed to the pneumonia causing bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae...Major parties missing in action on nanotechnology regulation
Whilst the Australian Greens have pledged their support for a mandatory register of all nanomaterials in commercial use in the lead up to the Federal Election, the other major parties appear to be missing in action when it comes to regulating the risks associated with...Crazytech
Stupid technologies we don't need.....
