Inhalation of silica is linked to lung cancer, silicosis and many other life-threatening lung damages. The recent study shows that people working in jobs where silica can be produced as a by-products are at high risk of developing cancer and lung disease. To date, no real-time method exists to measure the extent of exposure. A reliable sensor to detect airborne silica is therefore highly desirable. This initial partnership between Nanozen and Ko's group will facilitate the saving of lives, costly Canadian healthcare spending to fabricate polyvinyl chloride nanofibre with the capability to absorb aerosol silica particles.

吸入二氧化硅与肺癌、矽肺和许多其他危及生命的肺损伤有关。最近的 研究表明，从事可以作为副产品生产二氧化硅的工作的人患上二氧化硅的风险很高。 罹患癌症和肺部疾病。到目前为止，还没有实时方法来衡量接触的程度。一个 因此，检测空气中二氧化硅的可靠传感器是非常必要的。Nanozen之间的这一初始合作伙伴关系 Ko的团队将促进拯救生命，花费昂贵的加拿大医疗支出来制造聚乙烯 具有吸附气溶胶二氧化硅颗粒能力的氯纳米纤维。
