Original Abstract

Nanoscale copper particles (nano Cu) are used in many antimicrobial formulations and products for their antimicrobial activity.They may enter deliberately and/oraccidentally into terrestrial environments in cluding soils. Being the major ecoreceptors of nanoscale particles in the terrestrial ecosystem, soil-microbiota and plants (the soil plant system) have been used as a model to dissect the potential impact of these particles on the environmental and human health. In the soil plant system, the plant can bean indirect non target organism of the soil-associated nano Cu that may inturn affect plant based products and their consumers.
