The interaction of a plethora nanoparticles with major biota such as plants and animals/humans has been the subject of various multidisciplinary studies with special emphasis on toxicity aspects. However, reports are meager on the transport phenomena of nanoparticles in the plant-animal/human system. Since plants and animals/humans are closely linked via food chain, discussion is imperative on the main processes and mechanisms underlying the transport phenomena of nanoparticles in the plant-animal/human system, which is the main objective of this paper. Based on the literature appraised herein, it is recommended to perform an exhaustive exploration of so far least explored aspects such as reproducibility, predictability, and compliance risks of nanoparticles, and insights into underlying mechanisms in context with their transport phenomenon in the plant-animal/human system. The outcomes of the suggested studies can provide important clues for fetching significant benefits of rapidly expanding nanotechnology to the plant-animal/human health-improvements and protection as well.
大量纳米颗粒与植物、动物/人类等主要生物群之间的相互作用一直是各种多学科研究的主题，这些研究特别强调毒性方面。然而，关于纳米颗粒在植物 - 动物/人类系统中的传输现象的报道却很少。由于植物和动物/人类通过食物链紧密相连，因此有必要讨论纳米颗粒在植物 - 动物/人类系统中传输现象背后的主要过程和机制，这也是本文的主要目标。基于本文评估的文献，建议对纳米颗粒迄今最少探索的方面进行详尽的探索，例如纳米颗粒的可重复性、可预测性和合规风险，以及结合其在植物 - 动物/人类系统中的传输现象对潜在机制的深入了解。所建议研究的结果可为将迅速发展的纳米技术在改善和保护植物 - 动物/人类健康方面获取显著益处提供重要线索。
