relations. With the help of nanotechnology, you can save time, get more benefits
at a lower cost, continuously improve the level and quality of life.

However, studies are needed here - the question arises whether the
nanoparticles penetrate into the package of the product.
There is evidence that toxic nanoparticles may accumulate in the human
body. Such a conclusion was made by American scientists from the University
of Missouri analyzed the use of nanotechnology in modern industry and
agriculture.
Over the past few years, the use of nanomaterials in water treatment, food
packaging, in the manufacture of pesticides, cosmetics, and in various areas of
the industry continues to grow.
In agriculture, the silver -based nanomaterials are widely used by farmers
as a pesticide of the - because of their ability to suspend development of the
pests, according to the Internet - a resource ScienceDaily. com.
However, the alarming fact that silver nanoparticles may pose a potential
risk of human health and the environment. In this study, scientists from the
University of Missouri have developed a new method for the detection of silver
nanoparticles in raw materials and finished food products. "More than a
thousand products on the market of consumer goods - are products made using
nanotechnology. University scientists are concerned that it is not known how
toxic nanoparticles. So now their goal - to reveal, identify and quantify the
characteristics of nanoparticles in raw materials and foods, as well as to study
their toxicity "as soon as possible - said Professor of Food Science College of
Agriculture Missouri Mengshi Lin.
Russian and foreign authors in their publications emphasize that the
successful and safe implementation of all of these interesting developments in
