Application of silica-containing nano-composite emulsion to wall paint: A new environmentally safe paint of high performance

Exposure to nanoparticles is related to pleural effusion, pulmonary fibrosis and granuloma

“…These inorganics include silicon nanoparticles [12], thin zinc oxide [13], titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) [14], nanoscale silver cluster [15], and other engineered nano materials. A series of silicon-containing polyacrylate nanoparticles have also been successfully synthesised and widely used [12,16]. However, it is the nano materials containing nano-size particles that appear to produce the toxicities seen in the exposed workers.…”

Structure Analysis of Fe3O4@SiO2 Core Shells Prepared from Amorphous and Crystalline SiO2 Particles

“…Typically, the SiO2 nanoparticle has an amorphous phase, and it can be commercially produced as silica gel, fume-silica, and so forth. Several applications of SiO2 nanoparticles for examples such as medical purposes [22][23][24], as additives for rubber and plastics [25][26][27], as fillers for composite construction concrete [28][29][30], as stabilizers and agents drug delivery and theranostics [23,31], and as a heavy metal absorbent material in a water filter [14], [22].…”

Implicating Nanoparticles as Potential Biodegradation Enhancers: A Review

“…A number of authors have conducted studies using TiO 2 and have documented it as environment friendly and safe [37][38][39][40][41]. But a research conducted has shown the amorphous TiO 2 and SiO 2 particles as hazardous when inhaled and have lead to water pollution affecting the fishes in the tested areas.…”
