The Scotman's 'Nanosilver fad' sparks lively discussion

An article on the potential health risks of nanosilver published in 'The Scotsman' newspaper has prompted fresh debate in this controversial area.

The article, which examines current uses of as yet un-regulated colloidal nanosilver products and its potential health risks and benefits, provides commentary and opinion from all sides of the debate. Expert scientific commentary on the potential health risks posed by using colloidal nanosilver is provided by Professor Vicki Stone (SAFENANO's Director of Toxicology & Napier University) and Professor Ken Donaldson (SnIRC & Edinburgh University). Additional opinion on its merits or otherwise is also quoted from both sellers and users of colloidal silver.

Further discussion of this article is available on the SAFENANO web site.
