Abstract
Understanding the trophic transfer and ecological cascade effects of nanofertilizers and nanopesticides in terrestrial food chains is crucial for assessing their nanotoxicity and environmental risks. Herein, the trophic transfer of La2O3 (nLa2O3) and CuO (nCuO) nanoparticles from tomato leaves to Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) caterpillars and their subsequent effects on caterpillar growth and intestinal health were investigated. We found that 50 mg/L foliar nLa2O3 and nCuO were transferred from tomato leaves to H. armigera, with particulate trophic transfer factors of 1.47 and 0.99, respectively. While nCuO exposure reduced larval weight gain more (34.7%) than nLa2O3 (11.3%), owing to higher oxidative stress (e.g., MDA and H2O2) and more serious intestinal pathological damage (i.e., crumpled columnar cell and disintegrated goblet cell) by nCuO. Moreover, nCuO exposure led to a more compact antagonism between the phyllosphere and gut microbiomes compared to nLa2O3. Specifically, nCuO exposure resulted in a greater increase in pathogenic bacteria (e.g., Mycobacterium, Bacillus, and Ralstonia) and a more significant decrease in probiotics (e.g., Streptomyces and Arthrobacter) than nLa2O3, ultimately destroying larval intestinal immunity. Altogether, our findings systematically revealed the cascade effect of metal oxide nanomaterials on higher trophic consumers through alteration in the phyllosphere and insect gut microbiome interaction, thus providing insights into nanotoxicity and environmental risk assessment of nanomaterials applied in agroecosystems.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 945:173890.

Abstract
Microplastic pollution is a major environmental threat, especially to terrestrial ecosystems. To better understand the effects of microplastics on soil microbiota, the influence of micro- to nano-scale polypropylene plastics was investigated on microbial community diversity, functionality, co-occurrence, assembly, and their interaction with soil-plant using high-throughput sequencing approaches and multivariate analyses. The results showed that polypropylene micro/nano-plastics mainly reduced bacterial diversity, not fungal, and that plastic size had a stronger effect than concentration on the assembly of microbial communities. Nano-plastics decreased the complexity and connectivity of both bacterial and fungal networks compared to micro-plastics. Moreover, bacteria were more sensitive and deterministic to polypropylene micro/nano-plastic stress than fungi, as shown by their different growth rates, guanine-cytosine content, and cell structure. Interestingly, the dominant ecological process for bacteria shifted from stochastic drift to deterministic selection with polypropylene micro/nano-plastic exposure. Furthermore, nano-plastics directly or indirectly disrupted the interactions within intra-microbes and between soil-bacteria-plant by altering soil nutrients and stoichiometry (C:N:P) or plant diversity. Collectively, the results indicate that polypropylene nano-plastics pose more ecological risks to soil microbes and their plant-soil interactions. This study sheds light on the potential ecological consequences of polypropylene micro/nano-plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems.

Abstract
Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have been increasingly used in agricultural operations, leading to an urgent need for robust methods to analyze co-occurring ENPs in plant tissues. In response, this study advanced the simultaneous extraction of coexisting silver, cerium oxide, and copper oxide ENPs in lettuce shoots and roots using macerozyme R-10 and analyzed them by single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Additionally, the standard stock suspensions of the ENPs were stabilized with citrate, and the long-term stability (up to 5 months) was examined for the first time. The method performance results displayed satisfactory accuracies and precisions and achieved low particle concentration and particle size detection limits. Significantly, the oven drying process was proved not to impact the properties of the ENPs; therefore, oven-dried lettuce tissues were used in this study, which markedly expanded the applicability of this method. This robust methodology provides a timely approach to characterize and quantify multiple coexisting ENPs in plants.

Abstract
Nanoparticle (NP) applications aiming to boost plant biomass production and enhance the nutritional quality of crops hae proven to be a valuable ally in enhancing agricultural output. They contribute to greater food accessibility for a growing and vulnerable population. These nanoscale particles are commonly used in agriculture as fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth promoters, seed treatments, opportune plant disease detection, monitoring soil and water quality, identification and detection of toxic agrochemicals, and soil and water remediation. In addition to the countless NP applications in food and agriculture, it is possible to highlight many others, such as medicine and electronics. However, it is crucial to emphasize the imperative need for thorough NP characterization beyond these applications. Therefore, analytical methods are proposed to determine NPs' physicochemical properties, such as composition, crystal structure, size, shape, surface charge, morphology, and specific surface area, detaching the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) that allows the reliable elemental composition quantification mainly in metallic NPs. As a result, this review highlights studies involving NPs in agriculture and their consequential effects on plants, with a specific focus on analyses conducted through ICP-MS. Given the numerous applications of NPs in this field, it is essential to address their presence and increase in the environment and humans since biomagnification and biotransformation effects are studies that should be further developed. In light of this, the demand for rapid, innovative, and sensitive analytical methods for the characterization of NPs remains paramount.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is one of the essential elements for plant growth and is involved in the process of photosynthesis and seed germination. Herein, we applied two Mn-based nanoparticles, MnO2 and Mn3O4, to the soil to investigate their effects on radish growth, antioxidant system, and nutrients. The radish plant height after treatment with 10 mg/kg of MnO2 and Mn3O4 NPs were increased, compare to the control. In radish's shoot, MnO2 NPs at high concentrations (100 mg/kg) increased MDA activity by 58 % compared to the control group, while exposure to Mn3O4 NPs at the same concentration decreased MDA activity by 14 %. The nutrient content of radishes, such as soluble sugar and vitamin C, was improved. Moreover, single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP ICP-MS) was used to understand the patterns of migration of Mn-based NPs in radish and subsequent impact on nutrients. We found that Mn-based NPs accumulated mainly in the roots of radish. Interestingly, the accumulation characteristics of MnO2 NPs and Mn3O4 NPs were different. MnO2 NPs accumulated more in radish leaves than in fruits, while the accumulation of Mn3O4 NPs gradually decreased from roots to leaves. Finally, we determined the mineral element content of the leaves, fruits, and roots of radish, and found that the uptake of main metallic mineral elements (e.g. Cu, Fe, Mg, Zn, Na, K) was inhibited by the application of Mn-based NPs. These findings underscore the importance of considering species and multifaceted impacts of Mn-based NPs as nanofertilizers for their wide application in agriculture.

Abstract
Due to enhanced properties at the nanoscale, nanomaterials (NMs) have been incorporated into foods, food additives, and food packaging materials. Knowledge gaps related to (but not limited to) fate, transport, bioaccumulation, and toxicity of nanomaterials have led to an expedient need to expand research efforts in the food research field. While classical techniques can provide information on dilute suspensions, these techniques sample a low throughput of nanoparticles (NPs) in the suspension and are limited in the range of the measurement metrics so orthogonal techniques must be used in tandem to fill in measurement gaps. New and innovative characterization techniques have been developed and optimized for employment in food nano-characterization. Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, a high-throughput nanoparticle characterization technique capable of providing vital measurands of NP-containing samples such as size distribution, number concentration, and NP evolution has been employed as a characterization technique in food research since its inception. Here, we offer a short, critical review highlighting existing studies that employ spICP-MS in food research with a particular focus on method validation and trends in sample preparation and spICP-MS methodology. Importantly, we identify and address areas in research as well as offer insights into yet to be addressed knowledge gaps in methodology.

Abstract
As one of the most widely used nanomaterials, CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) might be released into the aquatic environment. In this paper, the interaction of CeO2 NPs and Ce3+ ions (0~10 mg/L) with duckweed (Lemna minor L.) was investigated. CeO2 NPs significantly inhibited the root elongation of duckweed at concentrations higher than 0.1 mg/L, while the inhibition threshold of Ce3+ ions was 0.02 mg/L. At high doses, both reduced photosynthetic pigment contents led to cell death and induced stomatal deformation, but the toxicity of Ce3+ ions was greater than that of CeO2 NPs at the same concentration. According to the in situ distribution of Ce in plant tissues by μ-XRF, the intensity of Ce signal was in the order of root > old frond > new frond, suggesting that roots play a major role in the uptake of Ce. The result of XANES showed that 27.6% of Ce(IV) was reduced to Ce(III) in duckweed treated with CeO2 NPs. We speculated that the toxicity of CeO2 NPs to duckweed was mainly due to its high sensitivity to the released Ce3+ ions. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the toxicity of CeO2 NPs to an aquatic higher plant.

Abstract
Understanding plant uptake and translocation of nanomaterials is crucial for ensuring the successful and sustainable applications of seed nanotreatment. Here, we collect a dataset with 280 instances from experiments for predicting the relative metal/metalloid concentration (RMC) in maize seedlings after seed priming by various metal and metalloid oxide nanoparticles. To obtain unbiased predictions and explanations on small datasets, we present an averaging strategy and add a dimension for interpretable machine learning. The findings in post-hoc interpretations of sophisticated LightGBM models demonstrate that solubility is highly correlated with model performance. Surface area, concentration, zeta potential, and hydrodynamic diameter of nanoparticles and seedling part and relative weight of plants are dominant factors affecting RMC, and their effects and interactions are explained. Furthermore, self-interpretable models using the RuleFit algorithm are established to successfully predict RMC only based on six important features identified by post-hoc explanations. We then develop a visualization tool called RuleGrid to depict feature effects and interactions in numerous generated rules. Consistent parameter-RMC relationships are obtained by different methods. This study offers a promising interpretable data-driven approach to expand the knowledge of nanoparticle fate in plants and may profoundly contribute to the safety-by-design of nanomaterials in agricultural and environmental applications.

Abstract
In the context of the widespread distribution of zero valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) in the environment and its possible exposure to many aquatic and terrestrial organisms, this study investigates the effects, uptake, bioaccumulation, localisation and possible transformations of nZVI in two different forms (aqueous dispersion-Nanofer 25S and air-stable powder-Nanofer STAR) in a model plant-Arabidopsis thaliana. Seedlings exposed to Nanofer STAR displayed symptoms of toxicity, including chlorosis and reduced growth. At the tissue and cellular level, the exposure to Nanofer STAR induced a strong accumulation of Fe in the root intercellular spaces and in Fe-rich granules in pollen grains. Nanofer STAR did not undergo any transformations during 7 days of incubation, while in Nanofer 25S, three different behaviours were observed: (i) stability, (ii) partial dissolution and (iii) the agglomeration process. The size distributions obtained by SP-ICP-MS/MS demonstrated that regardless of the type of nZVI used, iron was taken up and accumulated in the plant, mainly in the form of intact nanoparticles. The agglomerates created in the growth medium in the case of Nanofer 25S were not taken up by the plant. Taken together, the results indicate that Arabidopsis plants do take up, transport and accumulate nZVI in all parts of the plants, including the seeds, which will provide a better understanding of the behaviour and transformations of nZVI once released into the environment, a critical issue from the point of view of food safety.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are small-sized, with high surface activity and antibacterial and antioxidant properties. As a result, some NPs are used as functional ingredients in food additives, food packaging materials, nutrient delivery, nanopesticides, animal feeds, and fertilizers to improve the bioavailability, quality, and performance complement or upgrade. However, the widespread use of NPs in the industry increases the exposure risk of NPs to humans due to their migration from the environment to food. Nevertheless, some NPs, such as carbon dots, NPs found in various thermally processed foods, are also naturally produced from the food during food processing. Given their excellent ability to penetrate biopermeable barriers, the potential safety hazards of NPs on human health have attracted increased attention. Herein, three emerging NPs are introduced including carbon-based NPs (e.g., CNTs), nanoselenium NPs (SeNPs), and rare earth oxide NPs (e.g., CeO2 NPs). In addition, their applications in the food industry, absorption pathways into the human body, and potential risk mechanisms are discussed. Challenges and prospects for the use of NPs in food are also proposed.

Abstract
This review proposed that phytoremediation could be applied for the decontamination of MPs/NPs. Micro- and nano-plastics (MPs < 5 mm; NPs < 100 nm) are emerging contaminants. Much of the recent concerns have focused on the investigation of their pollution and their potential eco-toxicity. Yet little review was available on the decontamination of MPs/NPs. Recently, the uptake of MPs/NPs by plants has been confirmed. Here, in view of the current knowledge, this review introduces MPs/NPs pollution and highlights the updated information about the interaction between MPs/NPs and plants. This review proposed that phytoremediation could be a potential possible way for the in situ remediation of MPs/NPs-contaminated environment. The possible mechanisms, influencing factors, and existing problems are summarized, and further research needs are proposed. This review herein provides new insights into the development of plant-based process for emerging pollutants decontamination, as well as the alleviation of MPs/NPs-induced toxicity to the ecosystem.

Abstract
The successful application of nanobiotechnology in biomedicine has greatly changed the traditional way of diagnosis and treating of disease, and is promising for revolutionizing the traditional plant nanobiotechnology. Over the past few years, nanobiotechnology has increasingly expanded into plant research area. Nanomaterials can be designed as vectors for targeted delivery and controlled release of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, nucleotides, proteins, etc. Interestingly, nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical properties can directly affect plant growth and development; improve plant resistance to disease and stress; design as sensors in plant biology; and even be used for plant genetic engineering. Similarly, there have been concerns about the potential biological toxicity of nanomaterials. Selecting appropriate characterization methods will help understand how nanomaterials interact with plants and promote advances in plant nanobiotechnology. However, there are relatively few reviews of tools for characterizing nanomaterials in plant nanobiotechnology. In this review, we present relevant imaging tools that have been used in plant nanobiotechnology to monitor nanomaterial migration, interaction with and internalization into plants at three-dimensional lengths. Including: 1) Migration of nanomaterial into plant organs 2) Penetration of nanomaterial into plant tissues (iii)Internalization of nanomaterials by plant cells and interactions with plant subcellular structures. We compare the advantages and disadvantages of current characterization tools and propose future optimal characterization methods for plant nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (ceria NPs) have been widely used in many industrial applications. They have been proposed as a potential remedy for reducing oxidative stress in biological systems. General concerns over the toxicity of engineered ceria NPs have led to studies of their phytotoxicity in plants. Most of these plant growth studies were conducted in soil using grain crops and commercial ceria NPs of sizes from 6 nm to 100's nm. In this paper, we report our evaluation of the phytotoxicity and uptake of sub-3-nm crystalline ceria NPs by exposing Daikon radish (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus) microgreens to these NPs with environmentally relevant concentrations under hydroponic growth conditions. Aqueous suspensions of different concentrations of these ceria NPs (0.1 ppm, 1 ppm, and 10 ppm) were applied to these microgreens for the last 7 days of the 12-day growth period. Our results revealed the uptake of cerium by plant roots and the translocation of cerium to the stems and the cotyledons (seed leaves). The accumulation of cerium was found to be maximum at the roots, followed by the cotyledons and the stems of the plants. Even at the lowest concentration (0.1 ppm) of the sub-3-nm ceria NPs, the accumulation of cerium at the roots significantly stunted the root growth. However, these NP treatments did not show significant changes to the distributions of macro-minerals (Mg, K, and Ca) and micro-minerals (Zn and Cu) in the microgreens at the end of the 12-day growth period. The phytotoxic effect of sub-3-nm crystalline ceria nanoparticles on the hydroponic growth of Daikon radish microgreens was studied. The cerium uptake by the plant and its effect on the bioavailability of major macro-minerals and micro-minerals within the plant were examined.

Abstract
A systematic review of the use of single particle ICP-MS to analyse engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in biological samples (plants, animals, body fluids) has highlighted that efforts have focused on a select few types of ENMs (e.g., Ag and TiO2) and there is a lack of information for some important tissues (e.g., reproductive organs, skin and fatty endocrine organs). The importance of sample storage is often overlooked but plays a critical role. Careful consideration of the ENM and matrix composition is required to select an appropriate protocol to liberate ENMs from a tissue whilst not promoting the transformation of them, or genesis of new particulates. A 'one size fits all' protocol, applicable to all possible types of ENM and biological matrices, does not seem practical. However, alkaline-based extractions would appear to show greater promise for wide applicability to animal tissues, although enzymatic approaches have a role, especially for plant tissues. There is a lack of consistency in metrics reported and how they are determined (e.g. size limit of detection, and proportions of recovery), making comparison between some studies more difficult. In order to establish standardised protocols for regulatory use, effort is needed to: develop certified reference materials, achieve international agree on nomenclature and the use of control samples, and to create a decision tree to help select the best sample preparation for the type of tissue matrix.

Abstract
The advent of the nanotechnology era offers a unique opportunity for sustainable agriculture provided that the exposure and toxicity are adequately assessed and properly controlled. The global production and application of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) in various industrial sectors have tremendously increased. Most of the nanoparticles end up in water and soil where they interact with soil microorganisms and plants. Investigating the uptake, translocation and accumulation of CeO2-NPs is critical for its safe application in agriculture. Plant uptake of CeO2-NPs may lead to their accumulation in different plant tissues and interference with key metabolic processes of plants. Soil microbes can also be affected by increasing CeO2-NPs in soil, leading to changes in the physiology and enzymatic activity of soil microorganisms. The interactions between CeO2-NPs, microbes and plants in the agricultural system need systemic research in ecologically relevant conditions. In the present review, The uptake pathways and in-planta translocation of CeO2-NPs,and their impact on plant morphology, nutritional values, antioxidant enzymes and molecular determinants are presented. The role of CeO2-NPs in modifying soil microbial community in plant rhizosphere is also discussed. Overall, the review aims to provide a comprehensive account on the behaviour of CeO2-NPs in soil-plant systems and their potential impacts on the soil microbial community and plant health.

Abstract
This study evaluated the uptake and translocation of cerium nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) and soluble Ce(NO3)3 by soybean plants (Glycine max L. Merrill) under the whole plant life-cycle and relevant environmental concentrations, 0.062 and 0.933 mg kg-1, which represent maximal values for 2017 in agricultural soils and sludge treated soils, respectively. The experiments were carried out using a nutrient solution. Cerium was detected in the soybean roots epidermis and cortex, leaves, and grains, but it neither impaired plant development nor grain yield. The concentration of Ce in the shoot increased as a function of time for plants treated with Ce(NO3)3, while it remained constant for plants treated with CeO2 NPs. It means that CeO2 NPs were absorbed in the same rate as biomass production, which suggests that they are taken up and transported by water mass flow. Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry revealed clusters of CeO2 NPs in leaves of plants treated with 25 nm CeO2 NPs (ca. 30-45 nm). The reprecipitation of soluble cerium from Ce(NO3)3 within the plant was not confirmed. Finally, bioconcentration factors above one were found for the lowest concentrated treatments. Since soybean is a widespread source of protein for animals, we draw attention to the importance of evaluating the effects of Ce entrance in the food chain and its possible biomagnification.

Abstract
Elemental imaging gives insight into the fundamental chemical makeup of living organisms. Every cell on Earth is comprised of a complex and dynamic mixture of the chemical elements that define structure and function. Many disease states feature a disturbance in elemental homeostasis, and understanding how, and most importantly where, has driven the development of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) as the principal elemental imaging technique for biologists. This review provides an outline of ICP-MS technology, laser ablation cell designs, imaging workflows, and methods of quantification. Detailed examples of imaging applications including analyses of cancers, elemental uptake and accumulation, plant bioimaging, nanomaterials in the environment, and exposure science and neuroscience are presented and discussed. Recent incorporation of immunohistochemical workflows for imaging biomolecules, complementary and multimodal imaging techniques, and image processing methods is also reviewed.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has exhibited significant potential to improve crop cultivation and yield. The application of GO in agriculture will inevitably result in interactions with conventional contaminants, causing potential changes to environmental behavior and toxicity of conventional contaminants. This study explored the joint phytotoxicity of GO and arsenic species (arsenite [As (III)], arsenate [As (V)]) to monocot (Triticum aestivum L.) and dicot (Solamun lycopersicum) plant species. Under the environmentally relevant concentrations, GO (1 mg/L) significantly increased the phytotoxicity of As (III) and As (V) (1 mg/L), with effects being both As- and plant species-specific. One mechanism of enhanced arsenic phytotoxicity could be GO-induced up-regulation of the aquaporin and phosphate transporter related genes expression, which would lead to the increased accumulation of As (III) and As (V) in plants. In addition, co-exposure with GO resulted in more severe oxidative stress than single As exposure, which could subsequently induce damage in root plasma membranes and compromise key arsenic detoxification pathways such as complexation with glutathione and efflux. Co-exposure to GO and As also led to more significant reduction in macro- and micronutrient content. The provided data highlight the high-impact of nanomaterials on the environmental risk of As in agricultural systems.

Abstract
Most current studies on the relationships between plans and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are focused on food crops, while the effects on spontaneous plants have been neglected so far. However, from an ecological perspective, the ENMs impacts on the wild plants could have dire consequences on food webs and ecosystem services. Therefore, they should not be considered less critical. A pot trial was carried out in greenhouse conditions to evaluate the growth of Holcus lanatus L. (monocot) and Diplotaxis tenuifolia L. DC. (dicot) exposed to cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2). Plants were grown for their entire cycle in a substrate amended with 200 mg kg-1nCeO2 having the size of 25 nm and 50 nm, respectively. nCeO2 were taken up by plant roots and then translocated towards leaf tissues of both species. However, the mean size of nCeO2 found in the roots of the species was different. In D. tenuifolia, there was evidence of more significant particle aggregation compared to H. lanatus. Further, biomass variables (dry weight of plant fractions and leaf area) showed that plant species responded differently to the treatments. In the experimental conditions, there were recorded stimulating effects on plant growth. However, nutritional imbalances for macro and micronutrients were observed, as well.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of products that incorporate engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has prompted efforts to investigate the potential release, environmental fate, and exposure of the ENPs. However, the investigation of cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) in soil has remained limited, owing to the analytical challenge from the soil's complex nature. In this study, this challenge was overcome by applying a novel single particle-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) methodology to detect CeO2 NPs extracted from soil, utilizing tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP) aqueous solution as an extractant. This method is highly sensitive for determining CeO2 NPs in soil, with detection limits of size and concentration of 15 nm and 194 NPs mL-1, respectively. Extraction efficiency was sufficient in the tested TSPP concentration range from 1 mM to 10 mM at a soil-to-extractant ratio 1:100 (g mL-1) for the extraction of CeO2 NPs from the soil spiked with CeO2 NPs. The aging study demonstrated that particle size, size distribution, and particle concentration underwent no significant change in the aged soils for a short period of one month. This study showed an efficient method capable of extracting and accurately determining CeO2 NPs in soil matrices. The method can serve as a useful tool for nanoparticle analysis in routine soil tests and soil research.

Abstract
The study aimed to use Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) as an extractant of metal oxide NPs from plant material. The plant chosen for the study was radish after exposure, growing on media containing: copper(II) oxide, cerium(IV) oxide, and titanium(IV) oxide. The first step of the study was to investigate the influence of NADES on NPs. In the second step, selected NADES solvents were used as extractants of NPs present in radish after exposure. Single-particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry technique (SP-ICP-MS) was used to determine the number and size of NPs. As a result of the research, it was found that copper(II) oxide NPs, regardless of the solvent used, is not present in the extract. Only the ionic form of the element was present in the solution. Higher sized cerium(IV) oxide NPs were accumulated in the root, while smaller sized ones were found in radish leaves. The titanium(IV) oxide NPs were agglomerated and were present in a small amount in radish leaves, accumulating mainly in the root. Finally, it can be concluded that NADES allows the extraction of metal oxide NPs from the plant material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transformation of nanoparticles (NPs) internalized in plant tissues is the human digestive system that can provide a better understanding of the impact of NPs on the human system. The presented methodology was developed to study the bioaccessibility of cerium oxide (CeO2 ) and copper oxide (CuO) NPs from radish after the in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal digestion using single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS). RESULTS Radish plants were cultivated hydroponically in a growth medium containing: (i) CeO2 NPs and (ii) CuO NPs. Both cerium (Ce) and copper (Cu) were found in all organs of the radish plants after analysis by standalone ICP-MS. This confirms the bioaccumulation of CeO2 and CuO NPs and the translocation of their Ce and Cu to the aerial parts of the plant. Less Ce (4.095 μg g-1 ) has been detected in leaves than in roots (1.156 mg g-1 ) while Cu content in leaves was 5.245 μg g-1 and in roots was 10.41 μg g-1 . Analysis of the digestive extracts obtained after the in vitro simulation of gastro (pepsin) and gastrointestinal (pancreatin) digestion showed that Ce has easy access to human system at least by 73%. CONCLUSION The size of CeO2 NPs in digestive extracts showed no significant changes. However, the results obtained for CuO NPs digestion were variable and suggested that CuO NPs dissolved during the digestion process. The CuO NPs were observed in roots after the gastrointestinal digestion concluding that CuO NPs recovered after the initial dissolution. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The widespread application of nanoparticles (NPs) in recent times has caused concern because of their effects in biological systems. Although NPs can be produced naturally, industrially synthesized NPs affect the metabolism of a given organism because of their high reactivity. The biotransformation of NPs involves different processes, including aggregation/agglomeration, and reactions with biomolecules that will be reflected in their toxicity. Several analytical techniques, including inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), have been used for characterizing and quantifying NPs in biological samples. In fact, in addition to providing information regarding the morphology and concentration of NPs, ICP-MS-based platforms, such as liquid chromatography/ICP-MS, single-particle ICP-MS, field-flow fractionation (asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation)-ICP-MS, and laser ablation-ICP-MS, yield elemental information about molecules. Furthermore, such information together with speciation analysis enlarges our understanding of the interaction between NPs and biological organisms. This study reports the contribution of ICP-MS-based platforms as a tool for evaluating NPs in distinct biological samples by providing an additional understanding of the behavior of NPs and their toxicity in these organisms.

Abstract
Due to the increasing release of metal-containing nanoparticles into the environment, the investigation of their interactions with plants has become a hot topic for many research fields. However, the obtention of reliable data requires a careful design of experimental model studies. The behavior of nanoparticles has to be comprehensively investigated; their stability in growth media, bioaccumulation and characterization of their physicochemical forms taken-up by plants, identification of the species created following their dissolution/oxidation, and finally, their localization within plant tissues. On the basis of their strong expertise, the authors present guidelines for studies of interactions between metal-containing nanoparticles and plants.

Abstract
Air Liquid Interface (ALI) system has emerged as a useful tool for toxicity evaluation of nanomaterials related to inhalation since the system mimics the aerosol exposure. We compared the biological responses of lung epithelial cells exposed to titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers and nanoparticles in ALI and submerged cell cultures systems. Cells were exposed to 2 and 10 μg/cm2 for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h and LDH release, TiO2 internalization, DNA-double strand breaks (DSBs) and ROS production were assessed. LDH release was similar in both systems and particles had higher cytoplasmic uptake in submerged systems. Both TiO2 types were located in the cytoplasm but nanofibers had nuclear uptake regardless to the system tested. Cells exposed to TiO2 nanofibers had higher DSBs in the ALI system than in submerged cell cultures but cells exposed to TiO2 nanoparticles had similar DSBs in both systems. ROS production was higher in cells exposed to TiO2 nanofibers compared to cells exposed to TiO2 nanoparticles. In conclusion, cytotoxicity of lung epithelial cells was similar in ALI or submerged cell cultures, however cells exposed to TiO2 nanofibers displayed higher toxicity than cells exposed to TiO2 nanoparticles.

Abstract
Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, the production and use of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) in different areas, especially in automotive industry, is rapidly increasing, causing their presence in the environment. Released CeO2 NPs can undergo different transformations and interact with the soil and hence with plants, providing a potential pathway for human exposure and leading to serious concerns about their impact on the ecosystem and human organism. This study investigates the uptake, bioaccumulation, possible translocation and localization of CeO2 NPs in a model plant (Raphanus sativus L.), whose edible part is in direct contact with the soil where contamination is more likely to happen. The stability of CeO2 NPs in plant growth medium as well as after applying a standard enzymatic digestion procedure was tested by single particle ICP-MS (SP-ICP-MS) showing that CeO2 NPs can remain intact after enzymatic digestion; however, an agglomeration process was observed in the growth medium already after one day of cultivation. An enzymatic digestion method was next used in order to extract intact nanoparticles from the tissues of plants cultivated from the stage of seeds, followed by size characterization by SP-ICP-MS. The results obtained by SP-ICP-MS showed a narrower size distribution in the case of roots suggesting preferential uptake of smaller nanoparticles which led to the conclusion that plants do not take up the CeO2 NPs agglomerates present in the medium. However, nanoparticles at higher diameters were observed after analysis of leaves plus stems. Additionally, a small degree of dissolution was observed in the case of roots. Finally, after CeO2 NPs treatment of adult plants, the spatial distribution of intact CeO2 NPs in the radish roots was studied by laser ablation ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS) and the ability of NPs to enter and be accumulated in root tissues was confirmed.
