Why is Trophic Transfer Important in Nanotechnology?
Understanding trophic transfer is crucial for assessing the ecological risks and potential toxicological impacts of nanoparticles. As nanoparticles are increasingly used in various applications, their release into the environment raises concerns about their accumulation and effects on ecosystems. Through trophic transfer, nanoparticles can bioaccumulate and biomagnify, potentially causing adverse effects at higher trophic levels.
