The world of Nano and what they won't show
For greed is a need that can only grow


European scientists are starting to identify tangible health concerns associated with the use of nanoparticles in consumer products. Academic health experts within the European Union's scientific committee on emerging and newly identified health risks have raised some serious problems in a new detailed paper.

It represents a hardening of concerns: while the committee has previously highlighted the lack of knowledge about how nanoparticles could migrate from clothing and their dyes into consumers' bodies, it is now raising tangible fears.

The committee's chair is Professor Jim Bridges, of Britain's University of Surrey, and its vice-chair is Dr Wim De Jong, toxicological pathologist in the Laboratory of Pathology and Immunobiology at the Netherlands National Institute of Public Health and the Environment.
