They pass even the famous the hemato-encephalic barrier. The studies showed that below 4 nanometers the particles go through the axons of the olfactive nerves, despize of the barrier to settle in the central nervous system. Their miniaturization dopes also the effect of the atoms of surface, which makes them more reactive. They can adsorb molecules of the environment and become thus vectors of pollution. As for the form very lengthened of some nanofibres like the carbon nanotubes, of research showed that the cells do not know the phagocyter. It is as well established today as the particles accumulate in fabrics. Vis-a-vis with this cocktail of effects, the cell can badly react with a loss of functions, a hyperactivity or a disturbance of its cycle. The researchers think that it acts of a phenomenon of stress oxidizing on the lipids, proteins and nucleic acids of the cell. Results published into 2006 validate this assumption. Final, the organization answers by an ignition. | Les Echos |
