The definition of "interesting" can vary. Nanoparticles are a natural occurrence that has existed long before humans. They are generated through various natural processes, including combustion, volcanic activity, evaporation of liquid sprays, atmospheric chemical reactions, and emissions from trees. These natural nanoparticles are indeed fascinating, often differing from engineered nanoparticles due to their diverse compositions.

Hello Sweta Mehra,
Most often, chimney cleaners deal with natural nanoparticles. The carbon black mixture is a mixture of carbon nanofibers. In the summer, my wife and I live in the village. And I use the soot from the Belarusian kiln to strengthen the clay.
Best wishes,
Vladimir S. Pavlovich
