Some Nanomaterials Could Build Up In Food Chain, Say Experts

摘要

Some manufactured nanomaterials can transfer from one species to another, showing that they could bioaccumulate in species at the top end of the food chain, such as predatory fish, EU scientific experts have warned.rnThe warning comes in an opinion from top EU toxicology experts gathered as the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR). The Committee adopted its opinion, a risk assessment of products of nanotechnology, last month but the Commission only published the findings this week.
