No and now that I read my post back I realise how that inference could come out of it. My comments were in regard to nanoscale particles which can pass through cell membranes. The micron sized particles are a respiratory hazard just as asbesdos or other fine particles can be. I guess I combin

Hi Mike; You and I have something in common then. The university I work for has just launched an undergraduate program called nanotechnology engineering. Quite the laugh since the engineers are waay behind the scientists in nanotech, but it was part of an initiative to get status and therefor

I guess we will all just have a BALL, LOL. OK, I guess it's not really funny after all. GOOD Question I just wrote a published paper late last year on the hazards of NanoTech particles on just this sort of item. Mike McGinness Joe Street wrote: > Uh huh and what happens when you breathe t
