Smart rust can clean water, but researchers can use it to oxidize blood.
The smart rust is one version of nanotechnical systems that can clean up water. The smart rust uses iron oxide's ability to trap many pollutants inside its structure. Iron oxide is magnetic, which makes it possible to pull toxic chemicals into its structure. There is a possibility that iron oxide (Fe2O3) can also be used to release lots of oxygen in water or any other liquid. The idea is that chemical or electrochemical nanotechnology breaks the chemical compound between iron and oxygen. In that case, that chemical reaction releases pure oxygen into the liquid.
Small iron oxide particles in water can release oxygen into the water. And that thing makes it possible to increase oxygen levels in water. An even more powerful tool would be rustbite, which is connected with fullerene. In that case, the fullerene will break down carbon compounds. The fullerene will just reduce carbon, and then it breaks chemical compounds in carbon chains. And along with a powerful oxygenizer, that thing can remove anaerobic bacteria from water. The carbon can break chemical compounds of carbon and oxygen, and that thing separates oxygen from carbon. Breaking the carbon dioxide molecules immediately.

The smart rust that releases oxygen into the water can also be used to oxygenize the blood. The fullerene that is connected to that iron oxide can clean toxic chemicals from the blood and also increase the oxygen level, which can give it time to operate. The most dangerous situation in an accident is that the oxygen level in the blood will drop too low. And if there is no change to react and increase the blood's oxygen level, that can cause brain damage quite soon.
What if someday researchers can re-oxidize hemoglobin outside the lungs? That thing makes it possible to increase oxygen delivery to the desired location in the body.
In some of the most interesting and futuristic visions iron oxide and some enzymes can form so-called auto-oxygenation in hemoglobin. In that system, the molecules separate carbon from carbon dioxide when hemoglobin protein carries it out of the blood The idea is that nanotechnology can break the carbonyl group that ties carbon dioxide together.
Then that nanomachine, which can be an artificial protein, can re-oxygenate the hemoglobin outside the lung. Those nanomachines can bring that oxygen from other places. Nanotechnical systems can use things like iron oxide to transport oxygen to the desired place in the body. Or the nanomachine can remove only carbon from carbon dioxide.
