THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 951:175711. [PMID: 39181255 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
The widespread utilization of plastic and cobalt alloy products in industries and medicine has led to the increased presence of their degradation byproducts, microplastics (MPs), and cobalt nanoparticles (Co NPs), in the environment and organisms. While these particles can circulate throughout the body via the circulatory system, their specific adverse effects and mechanisms on the vascular system remain unclear. Employing scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis and other methodologies, we demonstrate the potential adsorption and aggregation phenomena between MPs and Co NPs. In vitro experiments illustrate that ingestion of either MPs or Co NPs compromises vascular endothelial cell function and induces the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Notably, this effect is markedly attenuated when a combination of MPs and Co NPs is administered compared to MPs alone. Additionally, zebrafish experiments validate our in vitro findings. Mechanistic studies have demonstrated that both MPs and Co NPs induce aberrant Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling. Intriguingly, a weaker activation level is observed when these agents are administered in combination compared to when they are administered individually. Our study provides novel insights into the interaction between MPs and Co NPs and their detrimental effects on vascular endothelial cells.

An electrochemical sensing potential of cobalt oxide nanoparticles towards citric acid integrated with computational approach in food and biological media. Food Chem 2024; 455:139869. [PMID: 38850977 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Although citric acid (CA) has antioxidant, antibacterial, and acidulating properties, chronic ingestion of CA can cause urolithiasis, hypocalcemia, and duodenal cancer, emphasizing the need for early detection. There are very few documented electrochemical-based sensing methods for CA detection due to the challenging behavior of electrode fouling caused by reactive oxidation products. In this study, a novel, non-enzymatic, and economical electrochemical sensor based on cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoOxNPs) is successfully reported for detection CA. The CoOxNPs were synthesized through a simple thermal decomposition method and characterized by SEM, FT-IR, EDX, and XRD techniques. The proposed sensing platform was optimized by various parameters, including pH (7.0), time (15 min), and concentration of nanoparticles (100 mM) etc. In a linear range of 0.05-2500 μM, a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.13 μM was achieved. Theoretical calculations (ΔRT), confirmed hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between CoOxNPs and CA. The detection method exhibited high selectivity in real media like food and biological samples, with good recovery values when compared favorably to the HPLC method. To facilitate effective on-site investigation, such a sensing platform can be assembled into a portable device.

Ecofriendly fabrication of cobalt nanoparticles using Azadirachta indica (neem) for effective inhibition of Candida-like fungal infection in medicated nano-coated textile. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:46575-46590.

Abstract
This study involves the formulation of cobalt nanoparticles by means of ethanolic Azadirachta indica (neem) extract (CoNP@N). Later, the formulated buildup was incorporated into cotton fabric in order to mitigate antifungal infection. Optimization of the formulation was carried out by considering the effect of plant concentration, temperature, and revolutions per minute (rpm) used, through design of the experiment (DOE), response surface methodology (RSM), and ANOVA of the synthetic procedure. Hence, graph was potted with the aid of effecting parameters and the related factors (size of particle and zeta potential). Further characterization of nanoparticles was performed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) was considered for the detection of functional groups. The structural property of CoNP@N was calculated with the aid of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The surface property was measured with the use of a surface area analyzer (SAA). The values of Inhibition concentration (IC50) and zone of inhibition (ZOI), were calculated, so as to determine the antifungal property against both the strains (Candida albicans, MTCC 227and Aspergillus niger, MTCC 8652). The further nano-coated cloth was subjected to a durability test, and hence the cloth was washed (through the purpose of time 0; 10; 25; and 50 washing cycles), and then its anti-fungal operation to a couple of strains was retained. Primarily, 51 μg/ml of cobalt nanoparticles incorporated on the cloth was retained but after 50 washing cycles in 500 ml of purified water, the cloth showed more efficiency contrary to C. albicans than towards A. niger.

Sa N, Alkhayer K, Behera A. Efficient removal of environmental pollutants by green synthesized metal nanoparticles of Clitoriaternatea. Heliyon 2024; 10:e29865. [PMID: 38707360 PMCID: PMC11066322 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Prevention and management of water pollution are becoming a great challenge in the present scenario. Different conventional methods like carbon adsorption, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, evaporation, and biological treatments remove water pollutants. Nowadays, the requirement for effective, non-toxic and safe waste management strategies is very high. Nanomaterials have been explored in various fields due to their unique characteristics. Green synthesis of nanomaterial is becoming more popular due to their safety, non-toxicity, and ease of scale-up technology. Metal nanoparticles can be synthesized using a green synthesis method using biological sources provided by eco-friendly, non-hazardous nanomaterials with superior properties to bulk metals. Hence, this study has designed a green synthesis of magnetic (cobalt oxide) and noble (gold) nanoparticles from the fresh flowers of Clitoria ternatea. The flavonoids and polyphenols in the extract decreased the energy band gap of cobalt oxide and gold nanoparticles; hence, the capping of the natural constituents in Clitoria ternatea helped form stable metal nanoparticles. The cobalt oxide and gold nanoparticles are evaluated for their potential for eliminating organic pollutants from industrial effluent. The novelty of this present work represents the application of cobalt oxide nanoparticles in the removal of organic pollutants and a comparative study of the catalytic behaviour of both metal nanoparticles. The degradation of bromophenol blue, bromocresol green, and 4-nitrophenol in the presence of gold nanoparticles was completed in 120, 45, and 20 min with rate constants of 3.7 × 10-3/min, 6.9 × 10-3/min, and 16.5 × 10-3/min, respectively. Similarly, the photocatalysis of bromophenol blue, bromocresol green, and 4-nitrophenol in the presence of cobalt oxide nanoparticles was achieved in 60, 90, and 40 min with rate constants of 2.3 × 10-3/min, 1.8 × 10-3/min, and 1.7 × 10-3/min, respectively. The coefficient of correlation (R2) values justify that the degradation of organic pollutants follows first-order kinetics. The significance of the study is to develop green nanomaterials that can be used efficiently to remove organic pollutants in wastewater using a cost-effective method with minimal toxicity to aquatic animals. It has proved to be useful in environmental pollution management.
