The British nongovernmental organization Soil Association engaged in certification of organic products has refused to certificate the products, which contain artificially created nanoparticles.
Soil Association sets standards for organic products in agriculture, food, cosmetic and partly pharmaceutical industries. It is considered, that SA’s standards are more strict, than official standards of the United Kingdom and the European Union.

On January, 15 SA has declared, that artificially created nanoparticles can be dangerous for health of the person, therefore products containing them henceforth cannot get SA’s certificate. It concerns first of all sanitary-and-hygienic and cosmetic remedies (sun cosmetics, creams from wrinkles), and also some foodstuff and clothes.

“Forbidden� are materials if they contain particles smaller than 125 nanometers and also if the average size of their particles is less than 200 nanometers.

SA emphasizes, that so small particles essentially change their physical and chemical properties, beginning partly to submit not to classical, but quantum physics. Possible influence of nanoparticles on a human body is not studied yet.
