Nanomaterials Under Study by the E.P.A.
By CORNELIA DEAN
Published: September 29, 2009

Summary: Recently the EPA has found nanoparticles in things like sunscreen and industrial adhesives. The impact they may have on humans, animals, and the environment are unsure and that is why they are under investigation. The problems that they could cause are endless and need to be studied very carefully and quickly. We don’t have time to waste when things like sunscreen and tennis rackets could be hurting us and we don’t even know it.

Response: This is very scary because we could be in danger and not be aware. The negative effects are endless. Things you would never consider to be dangerous could be extremely dangerous. But there is no reason to freak out yet because the EPA has not finished their study.
