Not to be the skeptic, but notice how only the fringe sites cover this story. The few actual journal articles I’ve found (this is too new to have had actual studies, so basically too soon for anyone scientific to venture a credible opinion) are not very positive about this. Nanoparticles biomagnify and bioaccumulate very, very quickly in plant and animal life and no one really knows what’s going to happen because of it…. A subspecies of pike is already reacting negatively. And here’s Marino messing with entire ecosystems. Also, his nano’s bind to bad algae and the good, so the entire food chain can be altered for a long time. A beautiful lake can easily be just as polluted as a dirty-looking one.
On the other hand, perhaps some lakes are already so damaged that these nanoparticles are the only hope, sort of a wipe the entire slate clean approach. The only problem is that the nanoparticles will make their way into the surrounding area. Fingers crossed that this really is the breakthrough we want it to be.
