Projected dietary intake of zinc and copper from consumption of carrot (Daucus carota) exposed to metal oxide nanoparticles or metal ions

The expanding production and use of engineered nanomaterials have raised concerns about the potential risk of those materials to food safety and human health. In a prior study, the accumulation of Zn and Cu from ZnO, CuO, or CeO2, respectively, was examined in carrot (Daucus carota L.) grown in sa...
