Isn't this the one that ended up getting banned? Now who would want to do that, I wonder? R
http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-Silver-Nano-Technology-Safe-For-Washing-Machine?&id=1212278 In lieu of these researches, the government of USA is planning to ban the selling of these products starting next year of evidence of safety is not provided. However, the government of South Korea stated that it was not in their plans to regulate such products. Timonty has a special interest in the field of washing machine technology. Visit his site http://www.washingmachineadvisor.com for more reviews on washing machine and washer buying tips. http://colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com/2008/12/coming-ban-on-colloidal-silver.html In fact, the environmental bureaucrats claim that silver is so effective, if too much of it is released back into the environment, it could harm our fragile eco-system by wiping out "ecologically important bacteria." Therefore, the use of silver in products, as well as the use of silver-producing devices, must now be regulated! .. What's more, Big Business is applying silver to so many new products; the bureaucrats can't keep up with it. So, as you'll see in a moment, they now want to restrict and control any product that uses silver as an antimicrobial agent, as well as any product that produces silver for use as an antimicrobial agent! .. According to medical journalist Sepp Hasslberger: More than a year ago, a little noticed article reported a study that found silver nano-particles, as found in silver colloids, were able to kill HIV, in addition to a broad spectrum of viral bugs. Now, the US health authorities seem to have found a way to prevent this breakthrough from making it into broad public use.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now selectively targeting nano-silver as an "environmental pollutant," while practically ignoring pharmaceuticals and toxic chemical pesticides. Indeed, the EPA is using emerging regulations on the health effects of nano-particles to selectively target colloidal silver products as "pesticides." ... Silver was brought under close EPA scrutiny when washing machine manufacturers began making models that sprayed tiny silver particles onto the clothes as an antibacterial agent. Last year, the EPA decided that the machines should be regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. Under these regulations, any silver product that claims it has antibacterial properties must prove the product is safe to be released into the environment. ... As Ralph Fucetola, an attorney for the natural health industry who is known nationally as the "Vitamin Lawyer," has pointed out, "The EPA will require proof of the safety of silver in the environment only if the companies make germ-killing claims.They are only concerned about safety if the public is being given information about silver's germ-killing benefits." ... As noted health journalist Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com points out, "This is not a regulation designed to protect the environment from nanotechnology; it's a stealth ploy that selectively attempts to remove colloidal silver from the marketplace." ... What's more, the document goes on to say that manufacturers and importers of such equipment (i.e., silver or copper ion-producing electronic devices) have until no later than March 23, 2009 to register with the EPA, submit their documentation and then wait until the EPA "acts upon their application." ... In a recent article published in Science Daily, titled "FDA Sees Nanotech Challenges In Every Product Category It Regulates," the FDA's Emerging Nanotechnologies Director David Rejeski stated, "Today, FDA took a major step forward in fulfilling its responsibilities for nanotechnology oversight. [FDA intends to] move towards ensuring the benefits of nanotechnology are realized without undue risk." Since the nano-material of choice among new product manufacturers is silver (according to Science Daily, silver now appears in over 139 brand new nano-tech products, far outstripping the use of other nano-materials such as carbon, gold or silica) it is not a difficult stretch to see where the FDA intends to go with this. ... the International Center for Technology Assessment, has filed legal briefs against the EPA in an effort to force them to clamp down faster on silver-based products, and enforce the new regulations which classify silver and the machines that produce it as "pesticides." If you think that your Silver-nano washing machine ... to why silver nanoparticles are so powerful and efficient in killing germs, have been revealed. ...

Tiny particles of silver designed to kill germs are being put into socks to control odor. .... Swedish pharmacies ban silver band-aids ... www.nanocafes.org/nanoproducts_antibacterial etc Mar. 29, 2006 - If you're a stickler for cleanliness, it sounds like a dream invention -- a washing machine that destroys bugs in the weekly laundry. Its designers at Samsung claim the technology will remove or kill 99.9 percent of odor-causing bacteria, including e.coli. And they say the system will keep the clothes fresh for up to 30 days. Called the Silver Nano Health System, it works by bombarding clothing with jets of cold water primed with tiny silver ions. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
