Is Silver-Nano Technology Safe For Washing Machine?

The Korea Science and Technology, together with the Korea University, a research project that has to be discovered, the impact of nano-particles in the killing of bacteria and germs. However, assessment has shown that their research is the nano-silver particles are particles that damage the plants, microbes and animal cells that are exposed to these particles are known.
Immediately after doing the research, an alarm was raised for many companies, washer and one of them was that Samsung Electronics, the veryactive in the promotion of the Silver Nano Health System in slices and their air conditioners.
Gu Man-bok, a professor in the department of bioscience, Korea University said that their assessment of the effects of silver nanoparticles on different organisms and the environment, now on going. She also stated that the department has the tests done for rice fish have shown that the toxic to these organisms is high in concentration.
Gu moreexplains that his laboratory has hand in hand with the Ministry of the Environment joined forces to do a research on the nano-silver particles effect on various forms of life and the result was like a delayed effort to the fact that many consumers have already bought washing machines take account of this technology, and they have been exposed to these types of items were. Nano-silver cutlery, electronics, clothing, toys, baby bottles and masks are now sold on the market.
Instead ofthese investigations, the U.S. government intends to sell these products from next year of evidence for the safety ban is not foreseen. However, the government of South Korea said that it is not in their plans to regulate these products.
According to Yoon Jun-won, a researcher said the National Institute of Environmental Research, that it is too early to decide whether to go to certain products or not regulate, because from that date, there is poor efficacy demonstratedThat come from these products.
Silver has been long known to have antiseptic properties and for this reason, many Greeks were used in ancient times, silver vessels for water storage. Koreans have also decided to make silver, their chopsticks.
Due to this fact about silver modern technology has also maximized the use of silver as an antibiotic. By small particles with larger areas, the particles can react with other substances, the activewhy many companies have taken advantage of the use of sliver particles that measure one nanometer.
In order to know the impact of the size of the particles in sterilizing, Gu, together with his colleagues, a bacterium that has been genetically altered, used to change the damage resulting was too. Surprisingly, that super-oxide radical commonly referred to as harmful molecules produced were of silver nano-particles, and these residues were was not manufactured by the normal silver ions. "
LGSamsung Electronics and create discs with the silver nanoparticle technology because of its power to kill, to bacteria. In fact, silver nano-particles actually kill bacteria, however, many scientists are still not sure of the security there is for humans. Ee-Taek Hwang said that the research is still in its early stages.
Another author, who also said some of the research, that many researchers are beginning to become cautious and aware of the results of the silver-nano --No particles on people simply because of worries that the companies concerned can give them. Therefore, this issue is such a sensitive, a specially for large companies such as Samsung.
An academic magazine called Small publish this research in March.
