The Field-emission Environmental Scanning Electron-Microscope can detect 10-nanometer Br, Cl and Sb particles.

Results by Antonietta M. Gatti indicate:
a- in the presence of metallic nanoparticles (Cobalt), macrophages become unable to mount appropriate defence to bacterial challenge and danger exists of increased susceptibility to infections;
b- the in-vivo tests indicated that metallic nanoparticles (and not the bulk samples) induced rhabdomyosarcoma in rats in 6 months;
c- the clinical samples showed the constant presence of micro and nanoparticles in the tissues with variable chemistry, sometimes directly related to the working place exposure.

It is sometimes misleadingly stated that PM2.5 particulates are simply a
fraction of PM10s and for this reason monitoring of PM10s is equivalent to monitoring of
PM2.5.
However this is a fallacious argument which has been favoured by the polluting
industries. For instance a high reading of PM10 particulates could be due to a
predominance of PM9 sized particles. This would be of relatively minor health
significance, especially as regards heart disease. However a lower reading of PM10s
but one which was made up of predominately PM1 sized particles would be far more
significant and might be represent a serious danger for someone with a heart
condition. PM2.5 monitoring would demonstrate this danger but PM10 monitoring
would not.
