Both sprays distributed under the name "Nano Magic” used the TUV Sued stamp "Production Inspected, Safety Approved”. According to the TUV Sued, this attribution was never given for the product under reference. "It is irresponsible to give the consumers a mistaken sense of security by falsifying stamps,” said vzbv Chair Edda Müller. TUV Sued Press Release The basic takeaway message is that this is a perfect example of what not to do. The paper industry should take heed from bad product stewardship in this case.

Experimental studies in rats have shown that at equivalent mass doses, tested insoluble ultrafine particles are more potent than larger particles of similar composition in causing pulmonary inflammation, tissue damage, and lung tumors Existing toxicity information about a given material can provide a baseline for anticipating the possible adverse health effects that may occur from exposure to that same material on the nanoscale Not possible to set health protective limits without assumptions about toxicity relative to that of the same macro-scale material
