Health Hazard Associated With Nanotech
19 July 2007Actually there are a number of concerns about the safe use of nanoparticles and in reality it is still mystery. The health hazard associated with nanotechnology is being examined and investigated at various research centers. In one of the government blog, the nanoparticles can become toxic after reacting with human tissues.
Although there are no supportive evidence of such concerns, however it is more logical that nanosized particles being macroscopic in nature tend to react more readily with human tissues. Actually if we look into the nature we may find many nanoparticles such as nanoparticles produced by the car tire, however the focus is here the man’s intention to produce such particles for various applications.
Although prima facie, it looks like that the concerns are reasonable and more studies on toxicology needs to be carried out. Both government agencies and industries should focus on the issue and should try to understand the health aspect associated with the technology.
