I tmay be wrong but silver nanoparticles might be used in manufacturing my washing up cloth. According to this article If used in making computers silver nanoparticles should be registered as a pesticide. This article also contains this A 2005 study in Environmental Science & Technology showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles were toxic to human lung cells in lab tests even at low concentrations. Other studies have shown that tiny silver particles (15 nanometers) killed liver and brain cells from rats. "They are more chemically reactive and more bioactive," Illuminato says, because of their size, which allows them to easily penetrate organs and cells. "Products should be at least labeled so consumers can choose whether they want to be part of this experiment."
I use a dishwasher, does that mean I'm safe? No, never mind, silly me, of course I'm not.
I spent half last night cursing my gp has i had a laxido sugar free sachet before going to bed. It has not performed the prescribed benefit but it is several months since I had the dash to the loo, dehydration condition I now imagine to be my body trying to free itself from poisoning by excess glucose. Then I read an article containing this happy factoid Considering the fact that nanoparticles are now used to help deliver nutrients, keep food fresh for longer, and act as thickening and coloring agents in processed foods, these “different properties” might be cause for concern. Or — at the very least — they might be reason enough to conduct thorough research into their health impacts.
