3️⃣ Horrible Facts about the Smallness of Nanoparticles
Often something that escapes people is how different nanoparticles are because of their size.
Imagine the cells in your body. Tiny living workers that make up 'tissues' which make up your organs.
To show you just how small these building blocks are, you have around 30 trillion cells in you.
Now imagine inside one cell, you have a particle so small that if the cell was New York City, the particle would be a Chevrolet Spark.
Being that size affords nanoparticles terrifying freedoms.
1️⃣ Nanoparticles easily infiltrate sensitive areas of the body, a famous example is penetrating the Blood Brain Barrier.
It's kind of like going through airport security, except you're an ant.
2️⃣ Nanoparticles ride in the air.
From there it's onto your skin or into your lungs.
Now tell me which is worse:
🙌 When nanoparticles end up on your skin, they might not be directly absorbed into your bloodstream, but in most cases they will accumulate under your skin and around your hair. In the long-term this places stress on your skin and hair, making you prone to skin problems.
🫁 When nanoparticles enter the lungs they can directly enter the blood. Or they might stay in the lungs and cause cause bumpy irritations... or cancer. Just ask any long-time welder about their lungs (welding releases nanoparticles).
3️⃣ Nanoparticles accumulate
What happens when you totally bypass any and every security measure in a building?
You do whatever you want!
Nanoparticles are the same, except they do what their programmers want them to do.
And in many cases this is simply hanging out in specific locations in the body, for months, years and even decades.
The longer the nanoparticle hangs out, the more of it's buddies join it. A few Chevrolet's are fine inside the body, but when Manhattan ends up with 3000 car meets at the same time, things can go very wrong.
Also: some of the nanoparticles that entered our bodies when we were in the womb, will still be in us when we die. How creepy is that 😂😂
➡️ Solution: learn about nano disengagement. learn about identifying nano in products. slowly make improvements.
