A request has been made to expand the section 'Arguments against regulation' which currently lacks references. Will that be done or the section removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.108.186.164 (talkcontribs) 05:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

"This is due in part to the fact that, given the same mass per volume, the dose in terms of particle numbers increases as particle size decreases." First, if it's the same material, mass per volume should not change Second,nano particles atricles often state that the principal change for properties id due to surface volume ratio tha is increased. I would rather write: "This is due in part to the fact that the surface to volume ratio increases of several orders of magnitude. Stated differently, for a same mass of bulk material, there is much more surface available for interaction" Longoria91 (talk) 15:31, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
