“As with any emerging technology or novel material, the scarcity of exposure and effect data introduces potentially high uncertainty into the characterisation of nanomaterials risk,” say the researchers. “Future priorities will include not only the generation of new exposure and hazard data, but also the application of suitable approaches and methods to support future decisions on nanomaterials risk.”

"Studies show that nanoparticles can easily penetrate DNA and the cells of the lungs, skin and digestive system, thereby causing harm to living organisms (2)... Nanoparticles are also now being engineered to be more resilient, thereby increasing the risk of causing irreversible damage to living organisms. We simply do not have sufficient data or risk assessment laws in place to analyse whether nanoparticles are safe for consumption." Delete the scoop?
