Applications and implications of nanotechnologies for the food sector

TL;DR: The toxicological nature of hazard, likelihood of exposure and risk to consumers from nanotechnology-derived food/food packaging are largely unknown and this review highlights major gaps in knowledge that require further research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utilising the Synergy between Plants and Rhizosphere Microorganisms to Enhance Breakdown of Organic Pollutants in the Environment (15 pp)

TL;DR: Plant-microbial interactions in the rhizosphere offer very useful means for remediating environments contaminated with recalcitrant organic compounds and will provide a basis for improving the efficacy of biological remediations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Considerations for environmental fate and ecotoxicity testing to support environmental risk assessments for engineered nanoparticles

TL;DR: The challenges associated with the testing of ENPs to generate data on persistence, mobility, bioavailability and ecotoxicity in the environment are discussed and more usable, robust and sensitive methods for characterisation and detection of ENP in environmental systems are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineered nanomaterials in soils and water: how do they behave and could they pose a risk to human health?

TL;DR: There is a need for continued work to develop an understanding of the exposure levels for engineered nanoparticles in environmental systems and to explore the implications of these levels in terms of the ecosystem and human health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Food applications of nanotechnologies: An overview of opportunities and challenges for developing countries

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the main issues emanating from applications of nanotechnologies in food and related sectors with a particular reference to developing countries is presented. But while developing countries can potentially benefit from these developments, there are also a number of challenges ahead.
