International. A study by the Spanish entity Tecnalia revealed that there is a loss of nanomaterials due to the effect of water in coatings known as photocatalytics, which are used in sectors such as construction and consumer products.
According to the study published in the scientific journal Applied Catalysis B: Environmental and mentioned by the website www.basqueresearch.com, recent analyses have been carried out related to the possible toxic effects of these materials on the environment and for people.
This research focused on photocatalytic coatings with titanium dioxide nanoparticles, which has performed better in the recent market. The study is known as "Aging photocatalytic coatings under a stream of water: long-term behavior and emission of titanium dioxide nanoparticles."
The analysis also ensures that nanoparticles when illuminated by ultraviolet light, can destroy organic matter and remove contaminants in water or air, which is why they are used in some types of paints.
