Abstract
Nanoremediation using nanoparticles can address environmental concerns as well as promise a sustained crop production by target specificity and low toxicity. It has enough potential to deal with the environment pollution and sustained food production with an ecofriendly approach. Such intelligent nanosystems with controlled release pattern while coming into contact with the contaminant as by using nanosensor can resolve bioaccumulation of chemical residues in food chain via plants with better usability and stability. However, there are some aspects that are needed to be focused upon for example toxicity level of nanoparticales, improvement in their application and environmental impact. Assessment of toxicity level, knowledge of mode of action and their residues impact on food chain and human health are some of the burning areas which needs more researches.
