Friends of the Earth come down hard on nanotechnology – are they right?
Abstract:
Friends of the Earth (FoE) do not like nanoparticle-based sunscreens. This has been evident for some years - back in 2006 the organization published the report Nanomaterials, Sunscreens and Cosmetics: Small Ingredients, Big Risks, and every year since then they have had something to say on the subject.
This year's web-based piece leaves now doubt about FoE's stance on nanotechnology-enabled sunscreens.
