Nanoparticles enter the body through inhalation, absorption into the skin, ingestion, and through medical or dental procedures.
Many engineered nanoparticles fall into the category of dual-use technology, meaning they are capable of more than one purpose or goal. The general public is largely unaware of this as they are continually saturated with nanoparticles from all angles.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are one example of dual-use technology. They serve as semiconductors as well as food additives. TiO2 is the most commonly produced and ingested nanomaterial. In addition to food additives, it’s also used in cosmetics, personal care products, and many other products at the commercial level. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles accumulate orally, through absorption and through inhalation.
"Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a material with wide applications due to its optical and electronic properties. It is used as an ingredient in sunscreen lotions and food products, as a pigment in paints and as semiconductors in the photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds."
Iron oxide nanoparticles are another example of dual-use technology. Iron oxide nanoparticles can act as transducers. They are also found in food and medicine.
Bioinspired nanotransducers for neuromodulation
Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, zinc oxide nanobelts, and silver-gallium nanowires used in a variety of commercial products can also be used for biological applications, biosensors, wireless technologies, RF communications, and more.
High Frequency Resonators Using Exotic Nanomaterials
The FDA has approved the oxide semiconductors Iron Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Anatole Titanium Dioxide, and Rutile Zinc Oxide as food additives. When these are ingested, humans become the semiconductor as these enhance the body’s conductivity. More on this here.
Nanoparticles used in aerosol and sprayed into the sky are yet another example of dual-use technology. The following document on solar radiation modification aerosol spray discusses the "potential applications in biological, electronic, and quantum technologies.”

Nanotechnology in air
The introduction of nanotechnology to the atmosphere uses terms such as geoengineering, solar geoengineering, solar engineering, solar radiation management, stratospheric aerosol injection, climate engineering, climate intervention, climate restoration, climate protection, etc. They all involve the same basic principles.
Geoengineering strategies are one example of human augmentation technologies that adhere to electrical standards from the IEC.
"In the atmosphere, nanoparticles have fundamental importance for chemical and physical processes."
- Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research Atmopsheric Aerosol Research, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
There is a long list of nanomaterials used in weather modification/geoengineering. Some are capable of affecting the atmosphere while also building nanonetworks inside the human body. However, not all nanomaterials are self assembling once inside the body.
It only takes 15 planes to geoengineer the entire planet.“If highly mass-efficient CS2 were used, a fleet of no more than 15 aircraft could carry up 100 kilotons of sulfur a year. Aged but operable used G650s cost about $25 million. Adding in the cost of modification, maintenance, spare parts, salaries, fuel, materials, and insurance, we expect the average total cost of a decade-long subscale deployment would be about $500 million a year. Large-scale deployment would cost at least 10 times as much.
”Solar geoengineering could start soon if it starts small
Solar Radiation Management (SRM), also known as Solar Radiation Modification (SRM), Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) or solar engineering:
This involves reflecting sunlight back into space to cool the planet.
CIA Director John Brennan speaking on geoengineering and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI). Source
“Solar radiation management (SRM) is a climate engineering strategy to reduce temperature increases due to global climate change. The most well-researched SRM methodology is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), which involves increasing the concentration of aerosol particles in the stratosphere to reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. The most considered and heavily researched aerosol for SAI is sulfate…When sulfur is injected into the stratosphere, it primarily causes changes in atmospheric concentrations of sulfate aerosols, which are formed when sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapor, effectively reflecting sunlight back into space and potentially cooling the planet; this process, known as Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), can also disrupt atmospheric chemistry…”
Stratospheric aerosol injection may impact global systems and human health outcomes
“Here we describe an alternate method in which aerosol is formed rapidly in the plume following injection of H2SO4, a condensable vapor, from an aircraft. This method gives better control of particle size and can produce larger radiative forcing with lower sulfur loadings than SO2injection.”
“Stratospheric aerosols (SAs) are a variable component of the Earth's albedo that may be intentionally enhanced in the future to offset greenhouse gases (geoengineering). The role of tropospheric-sourced sulfur dioxide (SO2) in maintaining background SAs…”
Covering the earth in aerosol- from particle to plume:
"Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is currently the most feasible climate intervention strategy and is being tested at ever increasing scales. It is critical to understand the global downstream impacts of these locally created interventions. However, in the finest detail, predictions require bridging scales from individual aerosol particles to large volumes of Earth’s atmosphere. Here the application of a novel discretization paradigm, the Eulerian-Lagrangian Point-Mass-Particle (ELPMP) discretization, is investigated as a method to model seeding, transport, and evolution of aerosols from injection-scale to Earth-scale impacts."

“A promising first step would be to establish a world commission on climate engineering or similar consultative body, with high-level political authorization, an appropriately broad mandate, adequate resources and wide participation.”
Starting the Dialogue on Climate Engineering Governance: A World Commission (2017)
Inhaling nanoparticles as a result of SRM using stratospheric aerosol injections is discussed in the document below:
“Using available evidence, we describe the potential direct occupational and public health impacts of exposures to aerosols likely to be used for SRM, including environmental sulfates, black carbon, metallic aluminum, and aluminum oxide aerosols. We speculate on possible health impacts of exposure to one promising SRM material, barium titanate, using knowledge of similar nanomaterials.
Human exposures to materials used for SRM could occur during the manufacture, transportation, deployment and post-deployment of these materials. In this paper, unless otherwise stated, inhalation is the primary route of exposure considered.
Population exposures:
Due to atmospheric circulation and gravitational deposition, large-scale population exposures to atmospherically-injected SRM materials will almost certainly occur after their deployment. Population exposures could also occur through ingestion of food and water contaminated with deposited particles, as well as transdermally. Unlike occupational exposures, there has been virtually no research done to estimate ground-level personal exposures to SRM materials…
In contrast to occupational exposures, population exposures to SRM materials will be continuous and prolonged over months to years, but will likely be orders of magnitude lower than those experienced occupationally. Thus the health effects will be primarily chronic in nature. The use of PPE to reduce personal exposures to deposited SRM materials is not feasible on a population scale."

Nanoparticles in cloud brightening:
This Scientific American article linked below about the same project reads, “The experiment is spraying microscopic salt particles into the air…” Note their misleading use of the word ‘microscopic’.
Researcher Pete Ramón points out:
“Microscale can never be nanoscale in terms of measurement. When non-scientific authors use micro- to describe nano- they're wrong, but when scientists in the field use micro- to describe nano-, it's intentionally misleading/confusing the reader. That said, nanomaterials can be coagulated/agglomerated/grown to create micro-sized materials. Also, creating nanomaterials from micro can also be done via techniques such as ablation and sonication.”
Geoengineering Test Quietly Launches Salt Crystals into Atmosphere (2024)
This article linked below reads, “Developing a new cloud-aerosol research instrument for use in small-scale field studies. This new research instrument generates controlled volumes and sizes of tiny, sub-micrometer seawater particles in sufficient numbers to increase the local brightness of low clouds in a marine environment"
Researcher Pete Ramón points out their use of the word “sub-micrometer” means by definition that it is nanoscale. If it’s in the nanoscale, we are talking about nanoparticles. Specifically, nanoparticles being released into the sky.
Marine Cloud Brightening Program
Salt particles ranging in size from 30-100 nanometers are the most effective for spraying.
“Factors determining the most efficient spray distribution for marine cloud brightening”
Nanoparticles in cloud seeding:
Water molecules in the atmosphere are too small to combine on their own to form cloud droplets. To form condensation, they need something larger to condense on (preferably flatter surface and at least one micrometer in size). That’s where cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) come in, otherwise known as cloud seeds.
Cloud seeds, or cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), are created by new particle formation (NPF), which are created by even smaller particles forming together.
“Nucleation” sums up this process, where extremely small aerosol particles form larger particles in the sky.
The scale of nucleation in the atmosphere ranges in the pico-/nano- scale of measurement. NPF may sometimes begin as tiny as picoparticles, build into nanoparticles, then cluster into bigger microparticles.
Atmospheric nanoparticles are referred to as Aitken nuclei by The American Meteorological Society (named after John Aitken).

"Releasing charge into natural droplet systems such as fog and clouds offers a route to influence their properties. To facilitate charge release across a wide range of altitudes and meteorological circumstances—such as developing clouds—a charge emitter has been developed for integration with the conventional cloud-seeding flares carried by crewed cloud-seeding aircraft. This allows charge emitters to be used alongside, or instead of, conventional particle releasing flares.”

Ship Tracks:
Nanoparticles from sea vessels are released into the air in the form of “ship tracks”, streaks of clouds from shipping emissions that can reach several miles wide and several hundred miles long.
“‘Ship tracks' above the northern Pacific Ocean. These patterns are produced when fine particles from ship exhaust float into a moist layer of atmosphere. The particles seed new clouds or attract water from existing cloud particles.

Fuel additives:
Nanoparticles in the form of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), and metal oxides such as cerium oxide (CeO2) are used in fuel additives for internal combustion engines in planes, buses and ships. This is another example of dual purpose technology. The nanoparticles in fuel combustion release nanoparticles in the exhaust.

Sulfur as a fuel additive to create aerosol in planes is discussed here. "Options for dispersing gases from planes include the addition of sulfur to the fuel, which would release the aerosol through the exhaust system of the plane, or the attachment of a nozzle to release the sulfur from its own tank within the plane, which would be the better option.”

“Our simulations show that sulfur dioxide is converted into sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid…allowing a visible contrail to appear earlier.”
Who’s behind geoengineering?
Economic interests and ideologies behind solar geoengineering research in the United States
David Keith, Ken Caldeira, Ben Kravitz, Alan Robock are five of the biggest names behind geoengineering. See how they fit into things on the map below:
“This is a really important moral point. So if I made a decision, or if there was a collective decision to do a geoengineering program, and you put say, the kind of program I think makes more sense, you put about a million tons of sulfur per year (in the stratosphere), you might end up killing many tens of thousands of people a year as a direct result of that decision. Now it’s true, as part of doing that, you would hope that overall benefits of human mortality would be so that you would save many more people than that. But, the fact that you would save more people than you kill doesn’t mean there’s no moral impact of making a decision that directly kills people and I think that we who talk about this have a duty to be clear eyed about the direct risks involved in doing it.”
-David Keith
Geoengineering is being pushed under the false pretense of climate change.
“…the benefit would be reduced climate change, so cooler temperatures, less extreme storms, less sea level rise, et cetera.”
-David Keith

Funding For Solar Geoengineering From 2008-2018
The money spent on geoengineering is undoubtedly higher by an exponential order of magnitude and the reasons behind it still shrouded behind the veil of the Biodigital Convergence.
Resources devoted to the exposing of geoengineering:
“This interactive world map on geoengineering, prepared by ETC Group and the Heinrich Boell Foundation, sheds light on the alarming expansion of geoengineering research and experimentation. It builds on an earlier map of Earth Systems Experimentation published in 2012. That original map documented around 300 projects and experiments related to the field of geoengineering. Almost a decade later, more than 1,700 such projects have been identified- including past, ongoing and planned ones. When opening the map, only ongoing and planned projects are displayed, as well as those that have been completed or cancelled in the last five years. These include Carbon Removal and Solar Radiation Management as well as other geoengineering approaches. The map also contains Carbon Capture and Weather Modification projects. There is no complete record of weather and climate control projects so this map is necessarily partial.”
Interactive map of current geoengineering projects around the world
Smart dust create networks that contain sensors, computer software, wireless communication capabilities and have their own autonomous power supply.
“Smart materials based on nanotechnology are currently being developed with gigaops computer capability at their core. They could adjust their size to optimal dimensions for a given fog seeding situation and even make adjustments throughout the process. They might also enhance their dispersal qualities by adjusting their buoyancy, by communicating with each other, and by steering themselves within the fog. They will be able to provide immediate and continuous effectiveness feedback by integrating with a larger sensor network and can also change their temperature and polarity to improve their seeding effects. As mentioned above, UAVs could be used to deliver and distribute these smart materials. Recent army research lab experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of generating fog.
“…the weather-modification applications proposed in this report range from technically
proven to potentially feasible. They are similar, however, in that none are currently employed or envisioned for employment by our operational forces.”
