Abstract:Nanotechnology remains under continuous development. The unique, fascinating, and tunable properties of nanomaterials make them interesting for diverse applications in different fields such as medicine, agriculture, and remediation. However, knowledge about the risks associated with nanomaterials is still poorly known and presents variable results. Furthermore, the interaction of nanomaterials with biological systems and the environment still needs to be clarified. Moreover, some issues such as toxicity, bioac… Show more
“…Recent life-cycle assessment studies showed advantages of nanofertilizers of different micronutrients over conventional fertilizers [ 50 ]. Bottlenecks for a global application of fertilizers based on nanotechnology are improvement of efficiency [ 51 ] and uncertainties about their transformation processes in the soil and the derived environmental impact [ 52 ].…”
