Machine learning can now reduce worry about nanoparticles in food
Researchers at Texas A&M can predict whether metallic nanoparticles in soil are likely to be absorbed by plants, which could cause toxicity
While crop yield has achieved a substantial boost from nanotechnology in recent years, alarms over the health risks posed by nanoparticles within fresh produce and grains have also increased. In particular, nanoparticles entering the soil through irrigation, fertilizers and other sources have raised concerns about whether plants absorb these minute particles enough to cause toxicity.
