“Nanopesticides” Could Lead to More Toxic Algae Outbreaks
Nanomaterials in agrochemicals like pesticides and fungicides aim to provide more disease protection and better yields for crops, while decreasing the amount of toxins sprayed on agricultural fields. However, when combined with nutrient runoff from fertilized cropland and manure-filled pastures, these “nanopesticides” could also mean more toxic algae outbreaks for nearby streams, lakes and wetlands.
