A scientific paper published in Nature Communications shows the propensity of gold nanoparticles to move up the food chain and accumulate in aquatic organisms (specifically in the brains of fish).
The first author of the article, Dr. Fazel A. Monikh of the University of Eastern Finland, calls for better supervision of nanomaterials: risk assessment must be done BEFORE marketing products containing them.
