Nanotechnology Safety
I`ve questioned the safety of nanotech products to others. Nanotech makes things that are only 4-400 atoms thick.
A Google seacrch of "Nanotech fibres" and "nanotech cosmetics" yields many articles that explain and question product safety.

These products are much smaller than human cells. One thing I didn't realise was that all the nanofibres wear off the fabric after 30-50 washes. So what happens to this nano-powder?
