Sucking tiny particles or nanomaterial contained in a wide range of household products on the market can cause inflammation and damage to the lungs, according to the study. Products used in the home can include sunscreen, copier ink, or cleaning products.
The study looked at two types of the most widely used nanomaterial in industrial, electronic, or drugs. Nanomaterial commonly used to make the product more robust and flexible.
Early research shows that suck nanomaterial can be dangerous for the lungs. This study is the first conducted in different industrial companies that showed similar results.
This discovery is expected to be a reference for the government to make regulations relating to the safe use of nanotechnology for health, said researchers as written in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
"This study provides further confirmation of the use of nanomaterial-related hazards that can cause inflammation and damage to the lungs," said Kent Pinkerton, researchers from the Center for Health and the Environment at the University of California, as reported by U.S. News.
Pinkerton explains that although fewer inhaled nanomaterial that may not look dangerous, but in the long use of nanomaterial that collects in the body due to the use of household products can harm lung health community.
