Anonymous Coward User ID: 78516725 Romania 02/25/2021 11:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Clown world Belgium - textile face masks distributed by government retired from pharmacies The textile masks the Belgian government made freely available in pharmacies apparently contain toxic particles and so the government is telling people not to get them anymore, and those still available will be taken back starting tomorrow.
But as one interviewed spokesman was saying on TV, one of those toxic particles is silver... that was included in the manufacturing because of anti-bacterial properties (silver does have anti-bacterial properties and in recent years has been included in pyjamas in hospitals, in UK I believe).
Do you get the Belgian way of thinking? Silver was included in the fabric of those textile face masks because of its anti-bacterial properties but is being warned against because it is toxic. |

And you didn't get the best... the second kind of toxic particle (according to the scientist interviewed) is titanium dioxide which is a white pigment used in painting but also used to whiten textiles, and even in TOOTHPASTE! And this is why they are taking those textile facemasks back! If this is an admitted toxic particle, why has it been allowed in toothpaste for decades? |

How can you "add" nanoparticles to fabric without those nanoparticles getting flushed out of it when washing the clothes?
Doesn't even sound credible.
What in hell are they doing to people? |

This is Belgium in a nutshell.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78996339 It definitely is. Now they are warning the public, after they have worn those masks for more than half a year (some did anyway). And even then their explanation sounds bizarre. Suddenly antibacterial silver particles and titanium dioxide used in toothpaste are toxic? Let's just focus on beer, chocolate and waffles and you'll be fine. |
