Consumer Effort To Unmask Nanotech Users Begs Question:Why Wear Masks?

摘要

A Consumers Union report being billed as an expose of sunscreens that are marketed as nanotech-free but actually contain nanoparticles may signal a need not for FDA's intervention but for industry to take the lead in educating consumers on nano technology.Consumers Union,which publishes Consumer Reports,says it tested five sunscreen products"that company representatives stated did not contain nano-size particles of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide"to confirm that such offerings are available to consumers who may wish to avoid nanoparticles.
