Comments on Earthworms Absorb Copper Nanomaterials From Soil
Update! on copper nanoparticle toxicity study. Engineered nanomaterials can be taken up from the environment and moved up the food chain. (Read
the complete story)
| "Star Trek fans of course remember another race of burrowing creatures who turned out to be helpful. Be sure to turn up the sound so you can hear the poignant filk song describing the plight of the horta.

toxic symptoms and suffer more from nano-copper than
females after they exposed to the same mass of particles."" |
