Late lessons from early warnings
Governments are failing to properly regulate nanotechnology according to a hard-hitting new report released by the European Environment Agency (EEA). Despite early warnings of the damage some nanomaterials could cause, governments are still reacting too slowly to...The jury is still out on the safety of nano sunscreen
A number of industry commentators have pointed to the European Commission’s (EC) Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)’s recent Opinion on nano zinc oxide (ZnO) as evidence of its safety. However, the SCCS Opinion clearly describes how nano-zinc oxide has...FOEA submission to Senate Inquiry: Progress in the implementation of the recommendations of the 1999 Joint Expert Technical Advisory Committee on Antibiotic Resistance
As with antibiotics, the overuse of nano-‐silver will promote resistance to this important antimicrobial. Already, there is evidence of bacterial resistance to silver in many clinical settings. Antimicrobial experts such as Prof. John Turnidge have warned that...More evidence of nanomaterial toxicity
In the past few months a number of studies have emerged demonstrating the potential for nanomaterials to cause harm to human health and the environment. New research published in Toxicology Sciences this August found that inhaling tiny fibres made by the...Crazytech
Stupid technologies we don't need.....
And that could destroy life on Earth.
