Abstract
Owing to the unique properties and useful applications in numerous fields, nanomaterials (NMs) received a great attention. The mass production of NMs has raised major concern for the environment. Recently, some altered growth patterns in plants have been reported due to the plant-NMs interactions. However, for NMs safe applications in agriculture and medicine, a comprehensive understanding of bio-nano interactions is crucial. The main goal of this review article is to summarize the results of the toxicological studies that have shown the in vitro and in vivo interactions of NMs with plants. The toxicity mechanisms are briefly discussed in plants as the defense mechanism works to overcome the stress caused by NMs implications. Indeed, the impact of NMs on plants varies significantly with many factors including physicochemical properties of NMs, culture media, and plant species. To investigate the impacts, dose metrics is an important analysis for assaying toxicity and is discussed in the present article to broadly open up different aspects of nanotoxicological investigations. To access reliable quantification and measurement in laboratories, standardized methodologies are crucial for precise dose delivery of NMs to plants during exposure. Altogether, the information is significant to researchers to describe restrictions and future perspectives.

Abstract
Green algae are dominant primary producers in aquatic environments. Thus, assessing the influences of pollutants such as nanoparticles on the algae is of high ecological significance. In the current study, cadmium selenide nanoparticles (CdSe NPs) were synthesized using the hydrothermal method and their characteristics were determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. Subsequently, the toxicity of synthesized nanoparticles on the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris was investigated. The observations by SEM confirmed that exposure to CdSe NPs had severe impacts on the algal morphology. Furthermore, the obtained results revealed the toxic effect of CdSe NPs by a decrease in the number of cells. Measurement of antioxidant enzymes activity showed an increase in the activity of catalase, and a decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) at high concentrations of CdSe NPs. The exposure of C. vulgaris to CdSe NPs resulted also in a change in algal pigments as well as total phenol content. Taken together, CdSe NPs appeared to have significant cytotoxic effects on C. vulgaris in the applied concentrations.

Abstract
A clear consequence of the increasing application of nanotechnology is its adverse effect on the environment. Semiconductor nanoparticles are among engineered nanomaterials that have been considered recently for their specific characteristics. In the present work, zinc selenide nanoparticles (ZnSe NPs) were synthesized and characterized by XRD, TEM, DLS and SEM. Biological aspects related to the impact of nanoparticles and Zn2+ ions were analyzed on the aquatic higher plant Lemna minor. The localization of ZnSe NPs in the root cells of L. minor was determined by TEM and fluorescence microscopy. Then, the entrance of ZnSe NPs into the plant cells was evaluated by a range of biological tests. The outcomes revealed that both the NPs and the ionic forms noticeably poisoned L. minor. In one hand, growth parameters and physiological indices such as photosynthetic pigments content were decreased. On the other hand, the activities of some antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)), as well as the contents of nonenzymatic antioxidants (phenols and flavonoids) were elevated. Taken together, high concentration of ZnSe NPs and Zn2+ triggered phytotoxicity which in turn provoked the plants' defense system. The changes in antioxidant activities confirmed a higher toxicity by Zn2+ ions in comparison with ZnSe NPs. It means that the considered ions are more hazardous to the living organisms than the nanoparticles.

Abstract
CdSe and Gd-doped CdSe nanoparticles were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method, and their catalytic activity was examined toward degradation of Acid Blue 5 (AB5) in the sonocatalytic process. The structure and morphology of as-prepared nanomaterials were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Branauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) and Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. Among the synthesized samples, 4% Gd-doped CdSe nanoparticles demonstrated the highest catalytic activity with band gap energy of 1.61eV. The effect of dopant content, initial dye concentration, catalyst dosage, ultrasonic power and inorganic radical scavengers on the degradation efficacy of AB5 was evaluated. The produced intermediates of AB5 degradation during sonocatalytic process were verified using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) technique. A novel intrinsic kinetic model for prediction of AB5 degradation efficiency was proposed. A good agreement was obtained between developed model and experimental data (R2>0.94).

Abstract
Pure and Sm-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized applying a simple sonochemical method. The nanocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques which confirmed the successful synthesis of the doped sonocatalyst. The sonocatalytic degradation of Acid Blue 92 (AB92), a model azo dye, was more than that with sonolysis alone. The 6% Sm-doped ZnO nanoparticles had a band gap of 2.8 eV and demonstrated the highest activity. The degradation efficiency (DE%) of sonolysis and sonocatalysis with undoped ZnO and 6% Sm-doped ZnO was 45.73%, 63.9%, and 90.10%, after 150 min of treatment, respectively. Sonocatalytic degradation of AB92 is enhanced with increasing the dopant amount and catalyst dosage and with decreasing the initial AB29 concentration. DE% declines with the addition of radical scavengers such as chloride, carbonate, sulfate, and tert-butanol. However, the addition of enhancers including potassium periodates, peroxydisulfate, and hydrogen peroxide improves DE% by producing more free radicals. The results show adequate reusability of the doped sonocatalyst. Degradation intermediates were recognized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Using nonlinear regression analysis, an empirical kinetic model was developed to estimate the pseudo-first-order constants (kapp) as a function of the main operational parameters, including the initial dye concentration, sonocatalyst dosage, and ultrasonic power.
