Nanomaterials in the environment: an unknown risk
Scientists are only just beginning to understand the potential risks associated with releasing nanomaterials into the environment. These include potentially harmful effects on soil and water organisms. Despite growing evidence of potential harm, a new study suggests...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...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...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.
