Abstract
Through the advancement of nanotechnology, agricultural and food systems are undergoing strategic enhancements, offering innovative solutions to complex problems. This scholarly essay thoroughly examines nanotechnological innovations and their implications within these critical industries. Traditional practices are undergoing radical transformation as nanomaterials emerge as novel agents in roles traditionally filled by fertilizers, pesticides, and biosensors. Micronutrient management and preservation techniques are further enhanced, indicating a shift towards more nutrient-dense and longevity-oriented food production. Nanoparticles (NPs), with their unique physicochemical properties, such as an extraordinary surface-to-volume ratio, find applications in healthcare, diagnostics, agriculture, and other fields. However, concerns about their potential overuse and bioaccumulation raise unanswered questions about their health effects. Molecule-to-molecule interactions and physicochemical dynamics create pathways through which nanoparticles cause toxicity. The combination of nanotechnology and environmental sustainability principles leads to the examination of green nanoparticle synthesis. The discourse extends to how nanomaterials penetrate biological systems, their applications, toxicological effects, and dissemination routes. Additionally, this examination delves into the ecological consequences of nanomaterial contamination in natural ecosystems. Employing robust risk assessment methodologies, including the risk allocation framework, is recommended to address potential dangers associated with nanotechnology integration. Establishing standardized, universally accepted guidelines for evaluating nanomaterial toxicity and protocols for nano-waste disposal is urged to ensure responsible stewardship of this transformative technology. In conclusion, the article summarizes global trends, persistent challenges, and emerging regulatory strategies shaping nanotechnology in agriculture and food science. Sustained, in-depth research is crucial to fully benefit from nanotechnology prospects for sustainable agriculture and food systems.

Abstract
The addition of nanomaterials to improve product properties has become a matter of course for many commodities: e.g., detergents, cosmetics, and food products. While this practice improves product characteristics, the increasing exposure and potential impact of nanomaterials (<100 nm) raise concerns regarding both the human body and the environment. Special attention should be taken for vulnerable individuals such as those who are ill, elder, or newborns. But detecting and quantifying nanoparticles in complex food matrices like early life nutrition (ELN) poses a significant challenge due to the presence of additional particles, emulsion-droplets, or micelles. There is a pressing demand for standardized protocols for nanoparticle quantification and the specification of "nanoparticle-free" formulations. To address this, silica nanoparticles (SiNPs), commonly used as anticaking agents (AA) in processed food, were employed as a model system to establish characterization methods with different levels of accuracy and sensitivity versus speed, sample handling, and automatization. Different acid treatments were applied for sample digestion, followed by size exclusion chromatography. Morphology, size, and number of NPs were measured by transmission electron microscopy, and the amount of Si was determined by microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometry. This successfully enabled distinguishing SiNP content in ELN food formulations with 2-4% AA from AA-free formulations and sorting SiNPs with diameters of 20, 50, and 80 nm. Moreover, the study revealed the significant influence of the ELN matrix on sample preparation, separation, and characterization steps, necessitating method adaptations compared to the reference (SiNP in water). In the future, we expect these methods to be implemented in standard quality control of formulation processes, which demand high-throughput analysis and automated evaluation.

[PMID: 38154635 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169590] [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: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
With the rapid development and widespread application of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), understanding the fundamental interactions between ENPs and biological systems is essential to assess and predict the fate of ENPs in vivo. When ENPs are exposed to complex physiological environments, biomolecules quickly and inevitably adsorb to ENPs to form a biomolecule corona, such as a protein corona (PC). The formed PC has a significant effect on the physicochemical properties of ENPs and gives them a brand new identity in the biological environment, which determines the subsequent ENP-cell/tissue/organ interactions. Controlling the formation of PCs is therefore of utmost importance to accurately predict and optimize the behavior of ENPs within living organisms, as well as ensure the safety of their applications. In this review, we provide an overview of the fundamental aspects of the PC, including the formation mechanism, composition, and frequently used characterization techniques. We comprehensively discuss the potential impact of the PC on ENP toxicity, including cytotoxicity, immune response, and so on. Additionally, we summarize recent advancements in manipulating PC formation on ENPs to achieve the desired biological outcomes. We further discuss the challenges and prospects, aiming to provide valuable insights for a better understanding and prediction of ENP behaviors in vivo, as well as the development of low-toxicity ENPs.

Abstract
Emerging contaminants in wastewater are one of the growing concerns because of their adverse effects on human health and ecosystems. Adsorption technology offers superior performance due to its cost-effectiveness, stability, recyclability, and reliability in maintaining environmental and health standards for toxic pollutants. Despite extensive research on the use of traditional adsorbents to remove emerging contaminants, their expensiveness, lack of selectivity, and complexity of regeneration remain some of the challenges. Industrial wastes viz. blast furnace slag, red mud, and copper slag can be used to develop efficacious adsorbents for the treatment of emerging contaminants in water. Advantages of the use of such industrial wastes include resource utilization, availability, cost-effectiveness, and waste management. Nevertheless, little is known so far about their application, removal efficacy, adsorption mechanisms, and limitations in the treatment of emerging contaminants. A holistic understanding of the application of such unique industrial waste-derived adsorbents in removing emerging contaminants from water is need of the hour to transform this technology from bench-scale to pilot and large-scale applications. This review investigates different water treatment techniques associated with industrial waste-based adsorbents derived from blast furnace slag, red mud, and copper slag. Besides, this review provides important insights into the growing trends of utilizing such novel types of adsorbents to remove emerging contaminants from water with an emphasis on removal efficacy, controlling measures, adsorption mechanisms, advantages, and limitations. The present timely review brings the current state of knowledge into a single reference which could be a strong platform for future research in understanding the latest advancements, decision making, and financial management related to the treatment of wastewater using industrial waste-based adsorbents.

Abstract
The widespread application of nanotechnology inevitably leads to an increased release of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) into the environment. Due to their specific physicochemical properties, ENPs may interact with other contaminants and exert combined effects on the microbial community and metabolism of anaerobic digestion (AD), an important process for organic waste reduction, stabilization, and bioenergy recovery. However, the complicated interactions between ENPs and other contaminants as well as their combined effects on AD are often overlooked. This review therefore focuses on the co-occurrence of ENPs and cocontaminants in the AD process. The key interactions between ENPs and cocontaminants and their combined influences on AD are summarized from the available literature, including the critical mechanisms and influencing factors. Some sulfides, coagulants, and chelating agents have a dramatic "detoxification" effect on the inhibition effect of ENPs on AD. However, some antibiotics and surfactants increase the inhibition of ENPs on AD. The reasons for these differences may be related to the interactive effects between ENPs and cocontaminants, changes of key enzyme activities, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and microbial communities. New scientific opportunities for a better understanding of the coexistence in real world situations are converging on the scale of nanoparticles.

Abstract
The important role of melatonin in plant growth and metabolism together with recent advances in the potential use of nanomaterials have opened up interesting applications in agriculture. Various nanovehicles have been explored as melatonin carriers in animals, and it is now important to explore their application in plants. Recent findings have substantiated the use of silicon and chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) in targeting melatonin to plant tissues. Although melatonin is an amphipathic molecule, nanocarriers can accelerate its uptake and transport to various plant organs, thereby relieving stress and improving plant shelf-life in the post-harvest stages. We review the scope and biosafety concerns of various nanomaterials to devise novel methods for melatonin application in crops and post-harvest products.

Abstract
The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana was exposed to combined stress factors, i.e., titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiNPs) and high light. The concentrations of TiNPs used for irrigation were 250, 500, and 1000 μg/mL. This study shows that TiNPs alter the morphology and nanomechanical properties of chloroplasts in A. thaliana, which leads to a decrease in membrane elasticity. We found that TiNPs contributed to a delay in the thermal response of A. thaliana under dynamic light conditions, as revealed by non-invasive thermal imaging. The thermal time constants of TiNP-treated plants under excessive light are determined, showing a shortening in comparison to control plants. The results indicate that TiNPs may contribute to an alleviation of temperature stress experienced by plants under exposure to high light. In this research, we observed a decline in photosystem II photochemical efficiency accompanied by an increase in energy dissipation upon exposure to TiNPs. Interestingly, concentrations exceeding 250 µg/mL TiNPs appeared to mitigate the effects of high light, as shown by reduced differences in the values of specific OJIP parameters (FV/FM, ABS/RC, DI0/RC, and Pi_Abs) before and after light exposure.

Abstract
Plants experience diverse abiotic stresses, encompassing low or high temperature, drought, water logging and salinity. The challenge of maintaining worldwide crop cultivation and food sustenance becomes particularly serious due to drought and salinity stress. Sustainable agriculture has significant promise with the use of nano-biotechnology. Nanoparticles (NPs) have evolved into remarkable assets to improve agricultural productivity under the robust climate alteration and increasing drought and salinity stress severity. Drought and salinity stress adversely impact plant development, and physiological and metabolic pathways, leading to disturbances in cell membranes, antioxidant activities, photosynthetic system, and nutrient uptake. NPs protect the membrane and photosynthetic apparatus, enhance photosynthetic efficiency, optimize hormone and phenolic levels, boost nutrient intake and antioxidant activities, and regulate gene expression, thereby strengthening plant's resilience to drought and salinity stress. In this paper, we explored the classification of NPs and their biological effects, nanoparticle absorption, plant toxicity, the relationship between NPs and genetic engineering, their molecular pathways, impact of NPs in salinity and drought stress tolerance because the effects of NPs vary with size, shape, structure, and concentration. We emphasized several areas of research that need to be addressed in future investigations. This comprehensive review will be a valuable resource for upcoming researchers who wish to embrace nanotechnology as an environmentally friendly approach for enhancing drought and salinity tolerance.

Abstract
A combination of multiple methods can greatly intensify the removal efficiency of hazardous substances. Herein, the synergistic utilization of adsorption and catalysis achieved for the highly efficient removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+). A paper-based palladium nanoparticles/UiO-66-NH2 (PdNPs/UiO-66-NH2/LP) composite catalyst was prepared using lignocellulose paper-based material (LP) for the loading of UiO-66-NH2 MOFs materials, with the lignin in LP as the reducer for the in-situ synthesis of PdNPs (12.3 nm) on UiO-66-NH2 MOF materials. Lignocellulose paper-based materials with high strength (82 N·m/g) realized low-cost and environmentally friendly preparation and guaranteed the practicability of PdNPs/UiO-66-NH2/LP composite catalyst. The prepared PdNPs/UiO-66-NH2/LP achieved high-efficiency catalytic activity for hazardous Cr6+ removal through a constructed adsorption-catalytic synergistic system, in which the removal efficiency of Cr6+ in 10 min was increased by 2 times compared with a composite catalyst without MOFs loading. Finally, the PdNPs/UiO-66-NH2/LP composite catalyst demonstrated the great efficiency and practicality of water pollution treatment through synergistic adsorption enrichment and catalytic reduction.

Abstract
The need for novel healthcare treatments and drugs has increased due to the expanding human population, detection of newer diseases, and looming pandemics. The development of nanotechnology offers a platform for cutting-edge in vivo non-invasive monitoring and point-of-care-testing (POCT) for rehabilitative disease detection and management. The advancement and uses of nanobiosensors are currently becoming more common in a variety of scientific fields, such as environmental monitoring, food safety, biomedical, clinical, and sustainable healthcare sciences, since the advent of nanotechnology. The identification and detection of biological patterns connected to any type of disease (communicable or not) have been made possible in recent years by several sensing techniques utilizing nanotechnology concerning biosensors and nanobiosensors. In this work, 2218 articles are drawn and screened from six digital databases out of which 17 were shortlisted for this review by using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) technique.

Aricov L, Precupas A, Tudose M, Baltag D, Trică B, Sandu R, Leonties AR. Trametes versicolor laccase activity modulated by the interaction with gold nanoparticles. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116920. [PMID: 37597828 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the impact of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the structure and activity of laccase from Trametes versicolor (Lc) was described. Fluorescence experiments revealed that AuNPs efficiently quench Lc's tryptophan fluorescence by a static and dynamic process. By using differential scanning microcalorimetry and circular dichroism spectroscopy, it was determined how the concentration of nanoparticles and the composition of the medium affected the secondary structure of Lc. The data revealed that upon binding with AuNPs, conformational changes take place mainly in presence of high amounts of nanoparticles. The complex kinetic analysis unveiled the Lc activity enhancement at low concentrations of AuNPs as opposed to the concentrated regime, where it can be reduced by up to 55%. The Michaelis-Menten tests highlighted that the activity of the biocatalyst is closely related to the concentration of AuNPs, while the Selwyn analysis demonstrated that even in a concentrated regime of Lc it is not deactivated regardless of the amount of AuNPs added. The thermal parameters improved by twofold in the presence of low AuNPs concentration, whereas the activation energy increased with AuNPs content, implying that not all collisions are beneficial to the enzyme structure. The effect of AuNPs on the decomposition of a recalcitrant dye (naphthol green B, NG) by Lc was also evaluated, and the Michaelis-Menten model revealed that only the high AuNPs content influenced negatively the Lc activity. The isothermal titration calorimetry revealed that hydrogen bonds are the main intermolecular forces between Lc and AuNPs, while electrostatic interactions are responsible for NG adsorption to AuNPs. The results of the docking analysis show the binding of NG near the copper T1 site of Lc with hydrogen bonds, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The findings of this work provide important knowledge for laccase-based bio-nanoconjugates and their use in the field of environmental remediation.

Challenges and Prospective of Enhancing Hydatid Cyst Chemotherapy by Nanotechnology and the Future of Nanobiosensors for Diagnosis. Trop Med Infect Dis 2023; 8:494. [PMID: 37999613 PMCID: PMC10674171 DOI: 10.3390/tropicalmed8110494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydatid cysts have been widely recognized for decades as a common medical problem that affects millions of people. A revolution in medical treatment may be on the prospect of nanotechnology enhancing chemotherapy against hydatid cysts. An overview of nanotechnology's impact on chemotherapeutics is presented in the current review. It discusses some of the challenges as well as some of the opportunities. The application of nanotechnology to enhance chemotherapy against hydatid cysts is what this review will explore. Nanotechnology is a critical component of delivering therapeutic agents with greater precision and efficiency and targeting hydatid cysts with better efficacy, and minimizing interference with surrounding tissue. However, there are biodistribution challenges, toxicity, and resistance problems associated with nanotherapeutics. Additionally, nanobiosensors are being investigated to enable the early diagnosis of hydatid cysts. A nanobiosensor can detect hydatid cysts by catching them early, non-invasively, rapidly, and accurately. The sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests can be enhanced with nanobiosensors because they take advantage of the unique properties of nanomaterials. By providing more precise and customized treatment options for hydatid cysts, nanotechnology may improve therapeutic options and strategies for diagnosing the disease. In conclusion, treatment with nanotechnology to treat hydatid cysts is potentially effective but presents many obstacles. Furthermore, nanobiosensors are being integrated into diagnostic techniques, as well as helping to diagnose patients earlier and more accurately.

Abstract
In the field of nanotoxicology, the detection and size characterization of nanoparticles (NPs) in biological tissues become increasingly important. To gain information on both particle size and particle distribution in histological sections, laser ablation and single particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-spICP-MS) was used in combination with a liquid calibration of dissolved metal standards via a pneumatic nebulizer. In the first step, the particle size distribution of Ag NPs embedded in matrix-matched gelatine standards introduced via LA was compared with that of Ag NPs in a suspension and nebulizer-based ICP-MS. The data show that the particles remained intact by the ablation process as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, the optimized method was applied to CeO2 NPs that are highly relevant for (eco-)toxicological research but, unlike Ag NPs, are multi-shaped and have a broad particle size distribution. Upon analyzing the particle size distribution of CeO2 NPs in cryosections of rat spleen, CeO2 NPs were found to remain unchanged in size over 3 h, 3 d, and 3 weeks post-intratracheal instillation, with the fraction of smaller particles reaching the spleen first. Overall, LA-spICP-MS combined with a calibration based on dissolved metal standards is a powerful tool to simultaneously localize and size NPs in histological sections in the absence of particle standards.

Cytotoxic and genotoxic properties of silver nanoparticles synthesized by ethanolic extract of Salacia chinensis. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123506.

Abstract
In this study, in vitro and in vivo methods were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity properties of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) made from a crude ethanolic extract of Salacia chinensis. The test Ag-NPs had no cytotoxicity on the fibroblast cell line at a concentration of 100 μg/mL, according to the MTT assay results. The Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line treated with varied concentrations of test Ag-NPs, with a maximum concentration of 200 μg/mL, did not exhibit any appreciable genotoxic activity, either by comparing the results with positive controls of genotoxicity caused by Methyl methane sulfonate and Benzo (a) pyrene at the concentration of 20 μg/mL, the lack of genotoxicity was established. An in vivo study in Swiss albino mice using various concentrations (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg) of test Ag-NPs, which were compared with positive controls, further confirmed this in vitro result pattern. Contrary to the genotoxicity caused by the positive control, mouse bone marrow micronucleus testing findings revealed the absence of genotoxicity. These findings imply that at the measured doses, the Ag-NPs produced from the crude ethanolic extract of Salacia chinensis do not exhibit any cytotoxicity or genotoxicity.

Size-resolved chemical composition and toxicity of particles released from refit operations in shipyards. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 880:163072. [PMID: 36990238 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/15/2023]
Abstract
Ship refit and repair operations in shipyards generate aerosol emissions with high potential for environmental impacts. Metal-bearing nano-, fine and coarse particles are incidentally formed and can be released to indoor and ambient air and the aquatic environment. This work aimed to further the understanding of these impacts by characterising particle size-resolved chemical composition (15 nm - 10 μm), organophosphate esters (OPEs) content (e.g., plasticisers) and cytotoxic and genotoxic potential. Results showed that nanoparticle emissions (20-110 nm) took place in bursts, coinciding with the use of mechanical abraders and spray-painting guns. Tracers of these activities were Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Rb, Nb, and Cs. Key components were V and Cu, probably sourcing from nanoadditives in the coatings. Abrasion of coatings also emitted OPEs, especially from old paints. Toxicity assessments consistently evidenced hazardous potential for the different endpoints assessed, for a number of samples. Exposures to spray-painting aerosols were linked with reduced cell viability (cytotoxicity), significant generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and increases in micronuclei frequency (genotoxicity). Even though spray-painting did not contribute significantly to aerosol mass or number concentrations, it was a major driver of potential health effects. Results suggest that aerosol chemical composition (e.g., content in nano-sized Cu or V) may have a larger impact on toxicity than aerosol concentration. While direct human exposures may be prevented using personal and collective protective equipment and environmental release can be minimised by enclosures and filtration systems, impacts on ambient air and the aquatic environment cannot be fully prevented. The continued use of good practices (exhaust, dilution, general ventilation systems, PPE, already in place) is encouraged to reduce inhalation exposures inside the tents. Understanding the size-resolved chemical and toxicological properties of aerosols is key to reducing human health and environmental impacts of ship refit operations in shipyards.

Abstract
In this study, the short-term toxicity of Cu NPs, CuO NPs, and CuSO4 on bok choy (Brassica chinensis L.) under hydroponic conditions was evaluated using indicators such as biomass, net photosynthesis rate, root morphology, enzyme activity, and Cu accumulation and subcellular distribution. Results showed that CuO NPs exposure notably increased the biomass, root length, and root tip number by 22.0%, 22.7%, and 82.9%, respectively, whereas Cu NPs and CuSO4 significantly reduced root biomass, net photosynthetic rate (PN), and root length by 31.2% and 44.2%, 24.5% and 32.2%, and 43.4% and 40.6%, respectively. In addition, Cu NPs, CuO NPs and CuSO4 exposure increased the distribution of Cu in soluble component and cell wall. Moreover, short-term exposure to different Cu forms significantly affected mineral element accumulation in bok choy. For instance, Cu NPs exposure reduced the concentrations of Mg, Ca and Mn in edible part by 21.7%, 16.1% and 23.2%, respectively. CuSO4 exposure reduced the concentrations of Mg and Ca in edible part by 12.3% and 50.1%, respectively. CuO NPs caused a significant increase of 30.4% for Ca concentration in root, 34.5% and 34.5% for K and Mn concentration in edible part. Over all, CuO NPs exposure was beneficial for plant growth. These findings help understand the phytotoxic effect of different Cu forms on bok choy, and CuO NPs has the potential to be applied to improve nutrition and prompt growth in edible plants.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted a growing interest over the last decades. They have become a material commonly used in industry, consumer products, water purification, and medicine. Despite this, the safety and toxic properties of different types of CNMs are still debatable. Multiple studies in recent years highlight the toxicity of CNMs in relation to aquatic organisms, including bacteria, microalgae, bivalves, sea urchins, and other species. However, the aspects that have significant influence on the toxic properties of CNMs in the aquatic environment are often not considered in research works and require further study. In this work, we summarized the current knowledge of colloidal behavior, transformation, and biodegradation of different types of CNMs, including graphene and graphene-related materials, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and carbon quantum dots. The other part of this work represents an overview of the known mechanisms of CNMs' biodegradation and discusses current research works relating to the biodegradation of CNMs in aquatic species. The knowledge about the biodegradation of nanomaterials will facilitate the development of the principals of "biodegradable-by-design" nanoparticles which have promising application in medicine as nano-carriers and represent lower toxicity and risks for living species and the environment.

Abstract
In this paper, aboveground biomass and basic nutrients removal, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), was analyzed by the use of reed as the main component of Constructed Wetland System (CWS) "Gložan". In almost ideal conditions of temperate continental climate, with favorable substrate humidity, due to the constant inflow of municipal wastewater, reed populations reach a high density, on average 217 ind/m2. The reed produces significant aboveground biomass, fresh weight (FW) of 144.21 g/plant and dry weight (DW) of 77.04 g/plant, with the largest share being per tree (87.49 g FW/plant, 48.17 g DW/plant), then leaf (49.45 g FW/plant, 24.89 g DW/plant) and the smallest inflorescence (7.27 g FW/plant, 3.99 g DW/plant). The results obtained in this way indicate that the largest amount of nitrogen was removed by leaves, then by stems and, the smallest by inflorescences, 181.07 g/m2, 97.73 g/m2, 23.41 g/m2, respectively. Thus, an average of 302.21 g/m2 of nitrogen was removed by the entire aboveground part of the reed. Also, the largest amount of phosphorus was removed by leaves, then by stems, and the smallest by inflorescences, 5.72 g/m2, 4.82 g/m2 and 2.57 g/m2, respectively, while the entire aboveground part of the reed is on average about 13.11 g/m2.

Abstract
Nano-based products have shown their daunting presence in several sectors. Among them, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles wangled the reputation of providing "next-generation solutions" and are being utilized in plethora of products. Their widespread application has led to increased exposure of these particles, raising concerns regarding toxicological repercussions to the human health and environment. The diversity, complexity, and heterogeneity in the available literature, along with correlation of befitting attributes, makes it challenging to develop one systematic framework to predict this toxicity. The present study aims at developing predictive modelling framework to tap the prospective features responsible for causing cytotoxicity in-vitro on exposure to ZnO nanoparticles. Rigorous approach was used to mine the information from complete body of evidence published to date. The attributes, features and experimental conditions were systematically extracted to unmask the effect of varied features. 1240 data points from 76 publications were obtained, containing 14 qualitative and quantitative attributes, including physiochemical properties of nanoparticles, cell culture and experimental parameters to perform meta-analysis. For the first time, the efforts were made to investigate the degree of significance of attributes accountable for causing cytotoxicity on exposure to ZnO nanoparticles. We show that in-vitro cytotoxicity is closely related with dose concentration of nanoparticles, followed by exposure time, disease state of the cell line and size of these nanoparticles among other attributes.

Abstract
The development of nanotechnologies is leading to greater abundance of engineered nanoparticles (EN) in the environment, including in the atmospheric air. To date, it has been shown that the most prevalent EN found in the air are silver (Ag), titanium dioxide (TiO2), titanium (Ti), and silicon dioxide (SiO2). As the intestinal tract is increasingly recognized as a target for adverse effects induced by inhalation of air particles, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of these 4 atmospheric EN on intestinal inflammation and microbiota. We assessed the combined toxicity effects of Ag, Ti, TiO2, and SiO2 following a 28-day inhalation protocol in male and female mice. In distal and proximal colon, and in jejunum, EN mixture inhalation did not induce overt histological damage, but led to a significant modulation of inflammatory cytokine transcript abundance, including downregulation of Tnfα, Ifnγ, Il1β, Il17a, Il22, IL10, and Cxcl1 mRNA levels in male jejunum. A dysbiosis was observed in cecal microbiota of male and female mice exposed to the EN mixture, characterized by sex-dependent modulations of specific bacterial taxa, as well as sex-independent decreased abundance of the Eggerthellaceae family. Under dextran sodium sulfate-induced inflammatory conditions, exposure to the EN mixture increased the development of colitis in both male and female mice. Moreover, the direct dose-response effects of individual and mixed EN on gut organoids was studied and Ag, TiO2, Ti, SiO2, and EN mixture were found to generate specific inflammatory responses in the intestinal epithelium. These results indicate that the 4 most prevalent atmospheric EN could have the ability to disturb intestinal homeostasis through direct modulation of cytokine expression in gut epithelium, and by altering the inflammatory response and microbiota composition following inhalation.

Abstract
Inorganic or organic nanoparticles are often incorporated into foods to enhance their quality, stability, nutrition, or safety. When they pass through the gastrointestinal environment, the properties of these nanoparticles are altered, which impacts their biological effects and potential toxicity. Consequently, there is a need to understand how different kinds of nanoparticles behave within the gastrointestinal tract. In this article, the current understanding of the gastrointestinal fate of nanoparticles in foods is reviewed. Initially, the fundamental physicochemical and structural properties of nanoparticles are discussed, including their compositions, sizes, shapes, and surface chemistries. Then, the impact of food matrix effects and gastrointestinal environments on the fate of ingested nanoparticles is discussed. In particular, the influence of nanoparticle properties on food digestion and nutraceutical bioavailability is highlighted. Finally, future research directions are highlighted that will enable the successful utilization of nanotechnology in foods while also ensuring they are safe.

Abstract
Silymarin (Sil) was conjugated to selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to increase Sil bioavailability. The conjugates were monodisperse; the average diameter of the native SeNPs was ~ 20-50 ± 1.5 nm, whereas that of the conjugates was 30-50 ± 0.5 nm. The use of SeNPs to increase the bioavailability of Sil was examined with the MH-22a, EPNT-5, HeLa, Hep-2, and SPEV-2 cell lines. The EPNT-5 (glioblastoma) cells were the most sensitive to the conjugates compared to the conjugate-free control. The conjugates increased the activity of cellular dehydrogenases and promoted the penetration of Sil into the intracellular space. Possibly, SeNPs play the main part in Sil penetration of cells and Sil penetration is not associated with phagocytosis. Thus, SeNPs are promising for use as a Sil carrier and as protective antigens.

Abstract
Nowadays, metal-based engineered nanoparticles (m-ENPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments for their wide applications in all walks of life. m-ENPs have been demonstrated to exert ecotoxicity, cytotoxicity and genotoxicity towards organisms and even humans. Therefore, the removal of m-ENPs from water has recently become a hot global concerned issue. Adsorption is widely investigated for this purpose, owing to its advantages of low cost, easy operation, high removal efficiency and potential recycling use of both the adsorbents and adsorbates. As the adsorption and related technologies were hardly comprehensively overviewed for the removal of m-ENPs, herein, the present review particularly focuses on this topic. The fundamentals to the technology, including adsorption isotherm, adsorption dynamics, the adsorption process with the special emphasis on the relationship between surface area and porosity of the adsorbent and the adsorption capacity, etc., are fully discussed. As the kernel of the adsorption method, adsorbents with diversified chemical and physical properties in different types are comprehensively elaborated. The primary factors affecting the adsorption, and adsorption mechanisms are well summarized. Particularly, the regeneration of the adsorbents and the reuse of adsorbed m-ENPs are highlighted for the sustainability. Finally, challenges and prospects in this field are outlined. Overall, this review aims to provide valuable references for the development of new adsorbents with more efficient and practical applications to remove m-ENPs and direct the future study.

Abstract
A model wetland with Salix was established to investigate the effects of CuO nanoparticles (NPs; the equivalent amount of Cu at 0, 100 and 500 mg/kg) on plant, soil enzyme activity and microbial community. Ionic Cu (100, 500 mg/kg) and bulk-sized CuO particles (BPs, 500 mg/kg) were included as controls. The results suggested the CuO NPs at 500 mg/kg and ionic Cu treatments inhibited the plant growth, while CuO NPs at 100 mg/kg and CuO BPs at 500 mg/kg played a facilitating role. CuO NPs significantly decreased the activities of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase, while ionic Cu treatments increased peroxidase activity, BPs and ionic Cu (500 mg/kg) increased the polyphenol oxidase activity. Bacterial community richness and diversity were reduced in all Cu treatments; however, CuO NPs and BPs at 500 mg/kg significantly increased the richness and diversity of fungal community.Soil microbial community was significantly altered by Cu types and dose. In comparison with ionic Cu and CuO BPs, CuO NPs uniquely enriched the microbial community and the fungal families.Overall, it demonstrate that both particle size and dose regulate the impact of CuO on wetland ecology, which deepens our understanding on the ecological risks of CuO NPs in freshwater forested wetland.

Nanowaste: Another Future Waste, Its Sources, Release Mechanism, and Removal Strategies in the Environment. SUSTAINABILITY 2022.

Abstract
Nanowaste is defined as waste derived from materials with at least one dimension in the 1–100 nm range. The nanomaterials containing products are considered as “nanoproducts” and they can lead to the development of nanomaterial-containing waste, also termed as “nanowaste”. The increased production and consumption of these engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and nanoproducts that generate enormous amounts of nanowaste have raised serious concerns about their fate, behavior, and ultimate disposal in the environment. It is of the utmost importance that nanowaste is disposed of in an appropriate manner to avoid an adverse impact on human health and the environment. The unique properties of ENMs, combined with an inadequate understanding of appropriate treatment techniques for many forms of nanowaste, makes nanowaste disposal a complex task. Presently, there is a lack of available information on the optimized standards for identifying, monitoring, and managing nanowaste. Therefore, this review highlights concerns about nanowaste as future waste that need to be addressed. The review focuses on ENMs waste (in the form of NP, nanotubes, nanowires, and quantum dots) generated from the manufacture of a wide variety of nanoproducts that end up as nanowaste and adversely affect the environment. Furthermore, the review considers different types of ENMs in waste streams and environmental compartments (i.e., soil, water, and air). Detailed studies are still required to identify data gaps and implement strategies to remove and control this future waste.

Biosynthesis of Nano-Selenium and Its Impact on Germination of Wheat under Salt Stress for Sustainable Production. SUSTAINABILITY 2022.

Abstract
Selenium and its derivatives have been found capable of excellent biological responses. However, the element in its bulk form has low bioavailability and increased toxicity, meaning the production of effective forms with sustainable methods has become urgent. Several microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria and yeast, as well as higher plants, are capable of biosynthesizing nanoparticles such as nano-selenium (nano-Se), which has wide applications in medicine, agriculture and industry. Thus, the biosynthesis of nano-Se using some bacterial species was the main target of this study. The production of nano-Se and the monitoring of its impact on the wheat germination of seeds under salt stress (i.e., 50, 100, and 150 mM NaCl) was also evaluated in the current study. The ameliorative role of nano-Se doses (i.e., 50, 75, and 100 mg L−1) in the germination of wheat seeds under salt stress was also investigated. Based on sodium selenite tolerance and reducing selenite to elemental Se-NPs, the most effective isolate (TAH) was selected for identification using the 16S rRNA gene sequence, which belonged to Bacillus cereus TAH. The final germination percent, mean germination time, vigor index and germination rate index were improved by 25, 25, 39.4 and 11%, respectively, under 15 mM sodium chloride concentration when 100 mg L−1 nano-selenium was used. On the other hand, the results obtained from a gnotobiotic sand system reveal that with treatment with 100 mg L−1 nano-selenium under high Ec values of 14 ds m−1, the vegetative growth parameters of shoot length, root length, fresh weight and dry weight were improved by 22.8, 24.9, 19.2 and 20%, respectively, over untreated controls. The data obtained from this study reveal that the use of nano-selenium produced by Bacillus cereus offers improved wheat seed germination under a salt-affected environment.

Abstract
Small molecule drugs, including most chemotherapies, are rapidly degraded and/or eliminated from the body, which is why high doses of these drugs are necessary, potentially producing toxic effects. Several types of nanoparticles loaded with anti-cancer drugs have been designed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional therapies. Modified nanoparticles can circulate for a long time, thus improving the solubility and biodistribution of drugs. Furthermore, they also allow the controlled release of the payload once its target tissue has been reached. These mechanisms can reduce the exposure of healthy tissues to chemotherapeutics, since the drugs are only released in the presence of specific tumour stimuli. Overall, these properties can improve the effectiveness of treatments while reducing undesirable side effects. In this article, we review the recent advances in stimuli-responsive albumin, gold and magnetic nanostructures for controlled anti-cancer drug delivery. These nanostructures were designed to release drugs in response to different internal and external stimuli of the cellular environment, including pH, redox, light and magnetic fields. We also describe various examples of applications of these nanomaterials. Overall, we shed light on the properties, potential clinical translation and limitations of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Research on the relationships between trace elements (TE) and the development of cancer or its prevention is a field that is gaining increasing relevance. This review provides an evaluation of the effects of TE (As, Al, B, Cd, Cr, Cu, F, I, Pb, Li, Mn, Hg, Mo, Ni, Se, Si, Sn, V and Zn) intake and supplementation in cancer risk and prevention, as well as their interactions with oncology treatments. Advancements in the knowledge of TE, their dietary interactions and their main food sources can provide patients with choices that will help them to improve their quality of life and therapy outcomes. This approach could open new opportunities for treatments based on the integration of conventional therapies (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy) and dietary interventions that provide advanced personalized treatments.

Abstract
At present, nanotechnology and nanomaterials are being emerged very quickly and gained the attention of researchers due to their frequent application history, especially their antibacterial effects against certain bacterial isolates. Therefore, the present study was aimed to check the antibacterial influence and toxic effects of the market available (Chemical Fabricated) silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). For this purpose, the AgNPs were obtained from the local market and used against fish pathogenic bacterial species. The highest zone of inhibition was observed against Aeromonas hydrophila (27.53 ± 0.69). Moreover, the AgNPs were exposed to the common carp fish for toxicity and toxic effects. The highest mortality was seen at the highest concentration (0.09 mg/L) of AgNPs. Finally, the AgNPs mainly were accumulated in the liver, followed by the intestine, gills, and muscles. The intestine absorbed the nanomaterials; therefore, it is critical to check the influence of these AgNPs on the fish intestinal bacterial community via MiSeq Illumina Sequencing.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has become an emerging technology in the medical field and is widely applicable for various clinical applications. The potential use of nanoparticles as antimicrobial agents is greatly explored and taken into consideration as alternative methods to overcome the challenges faced by healthcare workers and patients in preventing infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Among microorganisms, bacterial infections remain a major hurdle and are responsible for high morbidity and mortality globally, especially involving those with medical conditions and elderly populations. Over time, these groups are more vulnerable to developing resistance to antibiotics, as bacterial biofilms are difficult to destroy or eliminate via antibiotics; thus, treatment becomes unsuccessful or ineffective. Mostly, bacterial biofilms and other microbes can be found on medical devices and wounds where they disperse their contents which cause infections. To inhibit biofilm formations and overcome antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial-loaded nanoparticles alone or combined with other substances could enhance the bactericidal activity of nanomaterials. This includes killing the pathogens effectively without harming other cells or causing any adverse effects to living cells. This review summarises the mechanisms of actions employed by the different types of nanoparticles which counteract infectious agents in reducing biofilm formation and improve antibiotic therapy for clinical usage.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles synthesis is an expanding area of research due of their magnetic properties and possible applications in several novel technologies. FeONPs are indispensable in the biomedical field for diagnosis, treatments and drug delivery and in bioremediation applications. The synthesis route of nanoparticles is a major concern because biological methods are eco-friendly, and chemical methods are considered toxic. The objective of this study is to synthesize FeONPs by two different methods and to compare their properties and efficiency in applications. FeONPs were synthesized and characterized by microscopic and various spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized FeONPs were screened for their cytotoxic activity on PBMCs using MTT assay and found to exhibit good biocompatibility. Moreover, the GS FeONPs exhibited potential antibacterial activities and meanwhile showed less toxicity in brine shrimp lethality assay. Hence, these nanoparticles are biocompatible, environmentally safe and can be utilized in many medical applications.

CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 280:130863. [PMID: 34162100 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The potential effects of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on the behavior and toxicity of silver nanoparticle (Ag-NPs) and silver sulfide nanoparticle (Ag2S-NPs) remains ambiguous. The interaction of EPS from Bacillus subtilis with Ag2S-NPs, metallic Ag-NPs, or ionic Ag, and the associated plant safety had been examined in this study. The biological impacts of Ag-NPs and Ag2S-NPs were Ag form-dependent and highly influenced by microbial EPS. Compared with metallic Ag-NPs, Ag2S-NPs exert inert biological impacts, as revealed by 3.44 times lower Ag bioaccumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings and nearly reduce plant biomass when wheat was subjected to 1.0 mg-Ag L-1 of Ag-NPs and Ag2S-NPs with the transfer factors of 151.56-930.87 vs. 12.52-131.81, respectively. These observations were coincident with the low dissolved Ag ([Ag]diss) in the Ag2S-NPs treatment than the Ag-NPs treatment (114.0 vs. 0.0791, μg L-1). Compared with the enhanced toxicity of Ag2S-NPs to wheat, Bacillus subtilis EPS significantly alleviate the phytotoxicity of Ag-NPs, as revealed by the relative root elongation (7.15-45.40% decrease vs. 2.39-11.75% increase), and malondialdehyde (1.47-83.22% increase vs. 8.57-25.25% decrease) and H2O2 (11.27-71.78% increase vs. 5.16-36.67% decrease) contents. These constrasting plant responses of B. subtilis EPS are mainly caused by their complexation property with toxic Ag+ and nutrient elements for wheat stressed by Ag-NPs and Ag2S-NPs, respectively. Our findings highlight the importance of rhizospheric EPS in affecting the biogeochemistry and ecotoxicity of metal nanoparticles including Ag-NPs and Ag2S-NPs in agricultural systems.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed tremendous growth in the commercial use of metal-based engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) for a wide range of products and processes. Consequently, direct and indirect release into environmental systems may no longer be considered negligible or insignificant. Yet, there is an active debate as to whether there are real risks to human or ecological health with environmental exposure to ENMs. Previous research has focused primarily on the acute effects of individual ENMs using pure cultures under controlled laboratory environments, which may not accurately reveal the ecological impacts of ENMs under real environmental conditions. The goal of this review is to assess our current understanding of ENM effects as we move from exposure of single to multiple ENMs or microbial species. For instance, are ENMs' impacts on microbial communities predicted by their intrinsic physical or chemical characteristics or their effects on single microbial populations; how do chronic ENM interactions compare to acute toxicity; does behavior under simplified laboratory conditions reflect that in environmental media; finally, is biological stress modified by interactions in ENM mixtures relative to that of individual ENM? This review summarizes key findings and our evolving understanding of the ecological effects of ENMs under complex environmental conditions on microbial systems, identifies the gaps in our current knowledge, and indicates the direction of future research.

Abstract
Biogenic titanium dioxide nanoparticles have unique size, shape and biochemical functional corona that embellish them with the potential to perform therapeutic actions such as anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, larvicidal and photocatalysis by adopting various mechanistic or physiological approaches at the molecular level. We have provided a detailed overview of some of these physiological mechanisms, including disruption of the electron transport chain, DNA fragmentation, mitochondrial damage, induction of apoptosis, disorganization of the plasma membrane, inhibition of ATP synthase activity, suspension of cellular signaling pathways and inhibition of enzymatic activity. The biogenic synthesis of customized titanium dioxide nanoparticles has future application potentials to do breakthroughs in the pharmaceutical sectors to advance precision medicine and to better explain the disease prognosis and treatment strategies.

Abstract
In the current study, novel films with chitosan/nano/SiO2/nisin films and their antimicrobial application on cantaloupe fruit shelf-life have been studied. Novel films were prepared by the addition of 1% chitosan, 1% nano silicon dioxide, and 1% nisin and freeze-dried for the performance study. Physicochemical properties such as tensile strength, optical, and thermal properties with the performance characteristics of the novel films were measured. Coated and uncoated cantaloupes with various coating solutions were stored and chilled at 4 °C in a relative humidity of 70% for up to nine days. The microbial population measurements have been detected every three days. Results show that the fourier transform infrared intensity (FTIR) of nano/SiO2 and with the addition of nisin (nano/SiO2/n) were higher than chitosan (CH) film except in the wavenumber (3150–3750 cm−1) films peaks. Novel nanofilms enhanced tensile strength as well as optical and thermal properties. XRD analysis reported two distinct peak values of 32.08 and 45.99 to correspond to nano/SiO2/n film orientation (7095) and (3316), respectively. Zeta potential values and turbidity were increased, while nano/SiO2 films decreased the hydrophobicity of the film surface by 80.07°. The coating treatments with nano/SiO2 and nano/SiO2/n both reduced the yeast and mold counts 2.49 and 1.92 log CFU/g, respectively, on day nine. In summary, chitosan/nano/SiO2/n novel film improved the functional properties of coating films, and those bio-nanocomposites are effective in food packaging.

Abstract
The production and demand of nanoparticles in the manufacturing sector and personal care products, release a large number of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) into the atmosphere, aquatic ecosystems, and terrestrial environments. The intentional or involuntary incorporation of ENPs into the environment is carried out through different processes. The ENPs are combined with other compounds and release into the atmosphere, settling on the ground due to the water cycle or other atmospheric phenomena. In the case of aquatic ecosystems, the ENPs undergo hetero-aggregation and sedimentation, reaching different living organisms and flora, as well as groundwater. Accordingly, the high mobility of ENPs in diverse ecosystems is strongly related to physical, chemical, and biological processes. Recent studies have been focused on the toxicological effects of a wide variety of ENPs using different validated biological models. This literature review emphasizes the study of toxicological effects related to using the most common ENPs, specifically metal and metal/oxides-based nanoparticles, addressing different synthesis methodologies, applications, and toxicological evaluations. The results suggest negative impacts on biological models, such as oxidative stress, metabolic and locomotive toxicity, DNA replication dysfunction, and bioaccumulation. Finally, it was consulted the protocols for the control of risks, following the assessment and management process, as well as the classification system for technological alternatives and risk management measures of ENPs, which are useful for the transfer of technology and nanoparticles commercialization.

Borase HP, Muley AB, Patil SV, Singhal RS. Enzymatic response of Moina macrocopa to different sized zinc oxide particles: An aquatic metal toxicology study. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 194:110609. [PMID: 33340502 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110609] [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: 07/06/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Zinc oxide particles (ZnOPs) of both nanometer and sub-micron sizes are important components of high demand consumer products such as sunscreen, paint, textile, food packaging, and agriculture. Their ultimate discharge in the aquatic ecosystem is nearly unavoidable. For sustainable use of ZnOPs, there is an urgent need to assess its ecotoxicity using ecological indicator organisms. Moina macrocopa, an important component of the aquatic ecosystem is one such less explored indicator organism. In the present investigation, ZnOPs of two different sizes (250 ± 20 and 500 ± 50 nm) were selected for risk assessment as most of the previous reports were based on the use of 10-100 nm ZnOPs. ZnOPs of 500 nm were more lethal than that of 250 nm size, with respective LC50 of 0.0092 ± 0.0012 and 0.0337 ± 0.0133 mg/L against M. macrocopa after 48 h of exposure. We further used a sublethal concentration of 500 nm (0.00336 mg/L) and 250 nm (0.00092 mg/L) ZnOPs followed by measurement of enzymatic biomarkers of toxicity (acetylcholinesterase, digestive enzymes, antioxidant enzymes). A size-dependent variation in enzymatic response to 250 and 500 nm ZnOPs was seen. Exposure to ZnOPs inhibited acetylcholinesterase and digestive enzymes (trypsin, amylase), and elevated antioxidant enzymes (catalase, glutathione S-transferase) levels. The exposure also decreased the superoxide dismutase activity and increased that of β-galactosidase. Microscopic investigation revealed the accumulation of ZnOPs in the digestive tract of M. macrocopa that possibly disrupts enzyme activities. The present study will contribute to establishing regulatory policy on the maximum permissible limit of ZnOPs in different water bodies.

Abstract
The fast growth of industrialization combined with the increasing population has led to an unparalleled demand for providing water in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective way, which has become one of the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century faced by global society. The application of nanotechnology in water treatment and pollution cleanup is a promising alternative in order to overcome the current limitations. In particular, the application of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) for environmental remediation has currently received remarkable attention due to its unique combination of physicochemical and magnetic properties. Given the broadening use of these functional engineered nanomaterials, there is a growing concern about the adverse effects upon exposure of products and by-products to the environment. This makes vitally relevant the development of green chemistry in the synthesis processes combined with a trustworthy risk assessment of the nanotoxicity of MIONs as the scientific knowledge of the potential hazard of nanomaterials remains limited. This work provides comprehensive coverage of the recent progress on designing and developing iron oxide-based nanomaterials through a green synthesis strategy, including the use of benign solvents and ligands. Despite the limitations of nanotoxicity and environmental risks of iron oxide-based nanoparticles for the ecosystem, this critical review presents a contribution to the emerging knowledge concerning the theoretical and experimental studies on the toxicity of MIONs. Potential improvement of applications of advanced iron oxide-based hybrid nanostructures in water treatment and pollution control is also addressed in this review.

Abstract
Background Biostimulation and toxicity constitute the continuous response spectrum of a biological organism against physicochemical or biological factors. Among the environmental agents capable of inducing biostimulation or toxicity are nanomaterials. On the < 100 nm scale, nanomaterials impose both physical effects resulting from the core’s and corona’s surface properties, and chemical effects related to the core’s composition and the corona’s functional groups. Aim of Review The purpose of this review is to describe the impact of nanomaterials on microorganisms and plants, considering two of the most studied physical and chemical properties: size and concentration. Key Scientific Concepts of Review Using a graphical analysis, the presence of a continuous biostimulation-toxicity spectrum is shown considering different biological responses. In microorganisms, the results showed high susceptibility to nanomaterials. Simultaneously, in plants, a hormetic response was found related to nanomaterials concentration and, in a few cases, a positive response in the smaller nanomaterials when these were applied at a higher level. With the above, it is concluded that: (1) microorganisms are more susceptible to nanomaterials than plants, (2) practically all nanomaterials seem to induce responses from biostimulation to toxicity in plants, and (3) the kind of response observed will depend in a complex way on the nanomateriaĺs physical and chemical characteristics, of the biological species with which they interact, and of the form and route of application and on the nature of the medium -soil, soil pore water, and biological surfaces- where the interaction occurs.

Abstract
The unique properties that nanoparticles exhibit, due to their small size, are the principal reason for their numerous applications, but at the same time, this might be a massive menace to the environment. The number of studies that assess the possible ecotoxicity of nanomaterials has been increasing over the last decade to determine if, despite the positive aspects, they should be considered a potential health risk. To evaluate their potential toxicity, models are used in all types of organisms, from unicellular bacteria to complex animal species. In order to better understand the environmental consequences of nanotechnology, this literature review aims to describe and classify nanoparticles, evaluating their life cycle, their environmental releasing capacity and the type of impact, particularly on living beings, highlighting the need to develop more severe and detailed legislation. Due to their diversity, nanoparticles will be discussed in generic terms focusing on the impact of a great variety of them, highlighting the most interesting ones for the industry.

Abstract
Particle morphology can affect the performance of an electrostatic precipitator air-liquid interface (ESP-ALI) cell exposure system and the resulting cell toxicity. In this study, three types of monodisperse aerosols - spherical sucrose particles, nonspherical align soot aggregates, and nanosilver aggregates/agglomerates - were selected to evaluate the collection efficiency at flow rates ranging from 0.3 to 1.5 lpm. To quantify the particle morphology, the fractal dimensions (Df) of the tested aerosols were characterized. The penetration of fine particles (dp = 100-250 nm) under different operating conditions was correlated with a characteristic exponential curve using the dimensionless drift velocity (Vc/Vavg,r) as the scaling parameter. For nanoparticles (NPs, dp <100 nm) with different particle morphologies, the particle penetrations in the ESP-ALI were similar, but their diffusion losses were not negligible. In contrast, for fine particles, the collection efficiency of soot nanoaggregates (Df = 2.29) was higher than that of spherical sucrose particles. This difference might be due to the simultaneous influences of the electric field-induced and flow field-induced alignment. Furthermore, based on Zhibin and Guoquan's Deutsch model, a quadratic equation was applied to fit the experimental data and to predict the performance of the ESP-ALI.
