although we cannot stop the advance of knowledge , we can clearly see again here that transparency is and has always been a major issue. Only transparency can prevent deceptive aftermaths, the transparency of a system - or lack there of - binds us all.

The pollution of SCIENCE: Carbon nanotubes now being found in childrens' lungs
Monday, November 16, 2015
(NaturalNews) Tiny structures called carbon nanotubes are showing up in children's lungs, calling into question their safety in modern technical applications. Many researchers point out that carbon nanotubes look a lot like asbestos fibers under the microscope. Researchers have also shown that carbon nanotubes cause a deadly, inflammatory response in immune cell that is similar to that of asbestos fibers. In the 20th century, asbestos was ultimately exposed for causing widespread lung disease and cancers such as mesothelioma. Are carbon nanotubes to blame for causing respiratory problems in the 21st century?
The particles, functioning as both conductors and semiconductors, are strong for their size, and they are increasingly being utilized in modern scientific applications. However, the more they are used, the more the particles break free into the environment, polluting the air.
Persistent nanotubes beckon and destroy macrophages, paving the way for lesions to form. It has been shown that these fibers, at 20 micrometers long and greater, can persist in the body, causing immune system reactions. Ken Donaldson at the University of Edinburgh in the UK confirms that the tubes can persist in the abdominal cavities of mice and cause an immune system reaction within seven days. The macrophages that responded to the invasion were unable to eliminate the nanotubes. When they tried to swallow fibers longer than 20 micrometers, the macrophages ruptured and died off. The tubes remained and caused the formation of granulomas or lesions in the abdominal organs.
Now that the tubes are being used in computing, clothing, and medical technology, they are more persistent than ever before. How might these modern scientific wonders be inhaled, where they begin to initiate the formation of tumors in unsuspecting people?
Asthmatic children plagued by nanotubes lodged in their lungs............
