Philip Moos on the University of Utah and colleagues claimed you can find problem regarding the probable toxicity of nanoparticles of a number of resources, which may have different bodily and chemical properties than bigger particles.
The research, printed inside Chemical Exploration in Toxicology,
Microsoft Office Professional, observed particle size has an effect on the toxicity of zinc oxide, a material widely used in sunscreens. Particles smaller than 100 nanometers are slightly even more poisonous to colon cells than standard zinc oxide,

"Unintended publicity to nano-sized zinc oxide from young children accidentally eating sunscreen services is a standard public concern,

The researchers found the nanoparticles were twice as poisonous towards the cells since the greater particles. The focus of nanoparticles that was poisonous towards the colon cells was equivalent to eating 2 grams of sunscreen -- about 0.1 ounce,
