ABSTRACT
- Review of research on nanoscale materials
suggests that tiny particles are often toxic
because of their size and are likely to pose
health hazards, especially to workers making
them (S) A new review of research on
nanoscale materials suggests that tiny
particles are often toxic because of their
size and are likely to pose health hazards,
especially to workers making them.
Dr. Vyvyan Howard, a pathology specialist
at the University of Liverpool who examined
results from 27 studies published since
1984, said that the type of material a
particle is made of appears to be much less
related to how hazardous it is than its size
at such small scales.
How multi-packs work: A
multi-pack is an archive package that saves
you money by allowing you to pre-purchase a
set number of articles in bulk at a reduced
price. You can then debit from your
multi-pack and quickly access articles from
the archive at your convenience over the
lifetime of the multi-pack.
Once you purchase an
article, you may view it as often as you
like over the next 90 days. Archive articles
do not include photos, charts or graphics
