Report links nanotechnology, worker lung damage

摘要

Beijing - A recent report from a Chinese university claims to establish a link between nanoparticle exposure and worker illness. According to a study published in the European Respiratory Journal, researchers from Capital University of Medical Sciences examined the records of seven female workers who were admitted to a hospital with shortness of breath and excess fluid in the lungs after occupational exposure to nano-particles for five to 13 months.
