Wow, thank you for that brilliantly written piece of anti-CS propoganda! The word evil comes to mind. FUD at its best.
There were some very positive points, as you quoted in your email, which made it seem almost balanced. That article is truly masterful, in that it covers a very broad spectrum of 'experts' in government and industry giving cautions and warnings about the dangers of silver nanoparticles. And it is truly BS. With all the talk of 'possible' dangers of human inhalation, they never once mention the widespread use of CS or EIS. Not once. And for those that do not know, silver ions (Ag+) are already in widespread commercial use in Japan. In Japan you see 'Ag+' more and more on washing machines, nose sprays, deodorants, hand wipes, etc. Slowly but surely silver is being recognized in Japan for its value in health care. Marketing garbage perhaps? Probably. But at least a positive spin on silver. Use of the word 'nanoparticle' is often used as marketing BS, but in this article it is used for fear mongering. This article was purposefully crafted to spread FUD about silver. A very dangerous article. I'm curious what others thought about it.
