What do you think about the Interactions between nano particles and plants: phytotoxicity and defense mechanisms?
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the potential releases of nano particles (NPs) have drawn considerable attention. Plants are essential fundamental components of all ecosystems, and the interaction between NPs and plants is an indispensable aspect of the risk assessment. share by your opinion...
it is very dangerous because nanomaterials have very large specific area to its volume(aspect ratio) so it will be absorbed by the plants more than micro materials but may materials have a defense mechanism by make aggregation.
Nanotechnology and the use of pharmcological metal nanoparticles are applied and utilised in the medical field I had predicted back in 1994 that nanotechnology would be the biggest breakthrough in science and back then everyone thought I was nuts. Well, here we are in 2018 and nanotechnology is one the biggest breakthroughs in science, especially in the biomedical and physiochemical fields. The biological synthesis of nanoparticles is ecofriendly and scaled up technology. The nanoparticles produced by medicinal plants are the most pharmacological. Nanoarticles are also used in cosmetics, microelectronics, and drug carriers. The negative impact on plants is because of the possible increase in toxicity of the living cells of the plant.
