9.3 Contamination of Food-Associated Ecosystems
with Nanomaterials
Advances in nanotechnology and extensive nanoparticles usage can transfer them
directly or indirectly into the environment. The food chain can be contaminated
with nanomaterials through a variety of sources in the ecosystem (Yah et al. 2012).
Therefore, the human body is being polluted by nanomaterials directly via water,
