Mechanical engineering at the molecular level may be a corporation's dream come true. However, in the long term, the nanoparticles inside your body have been little studied, especially when it comes to health issues. In addition to the hugely profitable new industry, there is a growing body of toxicological information indicating that nanotechnology products, when consumed, can cause brain damage (as demonstrated by the largemouth bass) and therefore must be fully tested for their safety.

The nanoparticles are capable of penetrating the skin, suggesting potential unnatural interactions with the immune system, or entering the bloodstream. For example, some sunscreens on the shelves today contain nanoparticles that are able to penetrate the skin, move between organs with unknown health consequences. FDA has issued few regulations regarding the use of nanoparticles in cosmetics.

Thomas Fons of the Australian National University, who is an Australian Research Council Fellow on Public Nanotechnology Health, said the findings from the scientific work are significant, favoring mandatory labeling, and that manufacturers should be asked for accurate safety data for their products. "Research results show that nanoparticles have the ability to damage living cells, and in this case the precautionary principle must be applied," he said.

According to the world's leading industrial nanotechnology analyst, Helmut Kaiser Consultancy, in 2005 there were about 300 nanotechnology-based food products in the global marketplace, with an estimated market size of US $ 5.4 billion. So it was then.

And by 2015, she predicts, nanotechnology will be used in 40 percent of the food industry. According to these consultants, nanotechnology-made food with appropriate nutritional composition and the same flavor and texture as naturally produced food will become the norm by 2040.

It is clear that nanotechnology is already present in some food and beauty products (including anti-aging and sunscreens). All around "smart" packaging and tracking. Invisible (for the naked eye and part of microscopes), edible nanowrap with a barcode in addition can not only reveal early spoilage, but also improve the taste of food or everything that is called it. Producers rub their hands in excitement as food availability will no longer depend on scarce resources, bad weather, water problems, etc. The modern way to feed the whole world.

And don't wait for nanoparticle information labels in your products. Although sellers will be delighted to paint the delights of disappearing wrinkles or flawless coloring of your face, there is also health and a downside to the coin.

Where is the public debate over the labeling of nanoparticles in your products, cosmetics, or the associated risks? Probably in Karaganda … It seems that political leaders are still arguing about the mandatory labeling of GMOs.

When lab rats are deprived of food and then given the choice of eating natural or genetically modified potatoes, they run straight to natural. And only when they have no choice but to starve to death, they take up GMO potatoes.

So the next time you come across something with the word "smart" … think about what it might mean. Find out what you can about the sources of what is supposed to be applied internally or externally to your body. Smart mini micro computers to manage your skin and body fluids?

Descendants will have to suffer from nanoparticles

Nanoparticles, in particular titanium dioxide, can now be found everywhere: from cosmetics and sunscreens to dyes and vitamins.

Experts every now and then discovered their miraculous properties - they are supposedly capable of protecting tissues from contamination, killing the influenza virus, etc. In addition, titanium dioxide has always been considered a non-toxic substance. And recently, scientists from the University of Koblenz-Landau (Germany) have established that titanium dioxide nanoparticles are, in fact, a time bomb. They came to this conclusion, as reported in the journal PloS ONE, after conducting experiments on daphnia - small crustaceans that inhabit continental water bodies (they are also called water fleas). The fact is that daphnia is often used to test the components of various cosmetic and medicinal products for harmlessness.

German scientists placed Daphnia in water containing titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Their concentration was 50 times less than what is considered dangerous for the life of these creatures. This environment did not affect any aspects of the life activity of Daphnia. Then the scientists conducted the same tests with the offspring produced by these crustaceans. It turned out to be two to five times more sensitive to the environment - even an insignificant concentration of titanium dioxide nanoparticles negatively affected their ability to swim.

“Research confirms that the effect of nanomaterials, due to their special qualities, can be surprising. But classical studies do not provide an opportunity to assess how high the risks of using these materials are, since they do not test their effect on the body in the long term,”writes the head of the research group, Ralph Schultz. According to scientists, attention should be paid to this, since every year an increasing mass of nanomaterials enters the environment along with industrial and household waste. Nobody knows how they behave there.
