The research suggests that nanoparticles could cause cancer, or even birth defects, without crossing biological...Nanoparticle exposure related to serious lung damage, deaths of Chinese workers
A recent study is the first to document cases of serious illness and death in humans apparently caused by nanoparticles. Chinese researchers document the deaths of two print factory workers and severe lung problems experienced by five others, following exposure to...A link between nanoparticles and Alzheimer’s disease?
AzoNano reports that scientists at the University of Ulster are investigating a link between manufactured nanoparticles, such as titanium dioxide found in sunscreens and cosmetics, and Alzheimer’s disease. Exposure to some nanoparticles can cause proteins to...Crazytech
