Serious health implications posed by new research into nanoparticles used in our pharmaceuticals and foods
A new report in the journal Nature Nanotechnology has found that ultra-fine grains, nanoparticles commonly used in our drugs and processed foods could change the surface structure of our intestinal lining. Nanoparticles like titanium dioxide or aluminium silicate are...New nano research reveals massive regulatory failure
The Australian government’s National Measurement Institute has released early research at the International Conference on Nanotechnology (ICONN) in Perth this week that casts doubt on the nano content of popular sunscreens. This research highlights the failure of...
Nano silver: policy failure puts public health at risk
For nearly a century, we have waged a war on bacteria. We have learned to fight off these ‘enemies’ by using stronger and stronger weapons. As the bacteria have found ways to resist the lethal effects of one antimicrobial weapon, we have been forced to unleash...Odour-killing products breeding superbugs, experts warn
A new report released today by Friends of the Earth (FoE) reveals experts believe that widespread use of nano-silver could breed superbugs, leading to more Australian deaths in hospitals. Antibiotic resistant bacteria (superbugs) in our hospitals claim over 7,000...Crazytech
Stupid technologies we don't need.....
And that could destroy life on Earth.
