Toxicity
The UC Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (UC CEIN) studies the effects of nanomaterials on a range of biological systems in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. From this research, the UC CEIN will design a comprehensive risk-ranking model, based on the potential toxicity, mobility, and persistence of the nanomaterials. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, little is known about the possible environmental, health, and safety impacts of nanomaterials.
JR Nanotech was formed to introduce nano-silver to United Kingdom and to seek strategic partners to incorporate nano-silver in healthcare products to improve the quality of life and in non healthcare products to reduce food spoilage and destruction of building materials.
