Hamed A, Badran SR. The role of rice husk in Oreochromis niloticus safety enhancement by bio-adsorbing copper oxide nanoparticles following its green synthesis: an endeavor to advance environmental sustainability. Sci Rep 2024; 14:23730. [PMID: 39390125 PMCID: PMC11467324 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-74113-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 09/24/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Lowering nanoparticles (NPs) toxicity before discharge into aquatic environments and employing agricultural waste materials for environmental sustainability are necessary nowadays. Since this has never been done, this work examines how green CuO NPs treated with rice husk (RH) as a bio-adsorbent may be safer for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) than chemically manufactured ones. So, five groups of fish were randomly placed in glass aquaria. One group was a control, and four groups received 50 mg/L green and chemically produced CuO NPs (GS and CS) with and without RH for 24, 48, and 96 h. RH was collected from all groups, and the results showed GS-CuO NPs had a greater adsorptive capacity than CS-CuO NPs after all time intervals. After analyzing fish indicators in all groups compared to the control, higher Cu bioaccumulation was exhibited in the liver and gills. The liver and gills showed elevated levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), while the levels of glutathione reduced (GSH) were significantly lower. In addition, Cu exposure impaired liver and gill histology. Finally, our results indicated that using RH as an adsorbent for CuO NPs after their green synthesis instead of chemical synthesis before they enter the aquatic environment can enhance the overall health of fish and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
The increased use of nanoparticles (NPs) is expected to raise their presence in the marine ecosystem, which is considered as the final destination of released NPs. This study investigated the toxicity of Cr2O3 (42 nm) and Al2O3 (38 nm) NPs (1, 2.5, and 5 mg/L) on the digestive glands of Stramonita haemastoma for 7, 14, and 28 days by oxidative stress biomarkers, neurotoxicity indicator assessment, and histological study. Results revealed an imbalance in antioxidants at all periods. Following 7 days, both NPs caused GSH depletion with marked impacts from Al2O3. GPx, CAT, and AChE were also decreased with the highest changes induced by Cr2O3. Both NPs inducted GSH and GST levels on days 14 and 28, with more effects from Cr2O3 exposure. GPx, AChE, and MDA induction were observed on day 28, while MT varied through NPs and time, with imbalanced levels at all periods noticed, SOD was mostly not affected. Histology revealed alterations including necrosis and interstitial deteriorations; quantitative analysis through the histological condition index revealed dose-dependent impacts, with the highest values attributed to Cr2O3 exposure. While PCA revealed the co-response of GSH, GST, GPx, CAT, and AchE with separated MT responses. This study reported oxidative stress induction through a multi-biomarkers investigation, neurotoxicity, and histological damages in the digestive gland of S. haemastoma following Cr2O3 and Al2O3 NPs exposure.

Abstract
Currently, copper nanoparticles are used in various sectors of industry, agriculture, and medicine. To understand the effects induced by these nanoparticles, it is necessary to assess the environmental risk and safely expand their use. In this study, we evaluated the toxicity of copper oxide (nCuO) nanoparticles in Danio rerio adults, their distribution/concentration, and chemical form after exposure. This last assessment had never been performed on copper-exposed zebrafish. Such evaluation was done through the characterization of nCuO, acute exposure tests and analysis of distribution and concentration by microstructure X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (µ-XRF) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (GF-AAS). Synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was performed to find out the chemical form of copper in hotspots. The results show that the toxicity values of fish exposed to nCuO were 2.4 mg L-1 (25 nm), 12.36 mg L-1 (40 nm), 149.03 mg L-1 (80 nm) and 0.62 mg L-1 (CuSO4, used as a positive control). The total copper found in the fish was in the order of mg kg-1 and it was not directly proportional to the exposure concentration; most of the copper was concentrated in the gastric system. However, despite the existence of copper hotspots, chemical transformation of CuO into other compounds was not detected.

Abstract
Fish were exposed to a sub-lethal concentration of silver nanoparticles with and without orange and banana peels water treatment for 24, 48, and 96 h. The adsorption of AgNPs on both peels was recognized by scanning electron microscopic, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and laser ablation imaging. The % of DNA damage in liver and muscle tissues (comet assay) showed significant elevations in all studied groups with the maximum level in liver tissues after 24 h. DNA damage was markedly decreased after 48, and 96 h signifying the presence of an effective repairing mechanism. Micronucleus and nine nuclear anomalies were recorded in the peripheral blood cells. All anomalies were observed in all studied groups with a maximum induction rate after 96 h. of exposure. Based on the % of DNA damage and the frequencies of nuclear anomalies, water treatment with orange and banana peel succeeded to reduce AgNPs-induced genotoxic damage.

Abstract
The use of nano-enabled products (NEPs) can release engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into water resources, and the increasing commercialisation of NEPs raises the environmental exposure potential. The current study investigated the release of ENMs and their characteristics from six commercial products (sunscreens, body creams, sanitiser, and socks) containing nTiO2, nAg, and nZnO. ENMs were released in aqueous media from all investigated NEPs and were associated with ions (Ag+ and Zn2+) and coating agents (Si and Al). NEPs generally released elongated (7-9 × 66-70 nm) and angular (21-80 × 25-79 nm) nTiO2, near-spherical (12-49 nm) and angular nAg (21-76 × 29-77 nm), and angular nZnO (32-36 × 32-40 nm). NEPs released varying ENMs' total concentrations (ca 0.4-95%) of total Ti, Ag, Ag+, Zn, and Zn2+ relative to the initial amount of ENMs added in NEPs, influenced by the nature of the product and recipient water quality. The findings confirmed the use of the examined NEPs as sources of nanopollution in water resources, and the physicochemical properties of the nanopollutants were determined. Exposure assessment data from real-life sources are highly valuable for enriching the robust environmental risk assessment of nanotechnology.

Interactive effects of mercury exposure and hypoxia on ECG patterns in two Neotropical freshwater fish species: Matrinxã, Brycon amazonicus and traíra, Hoplias malabaricus. ECOTOXICOLOGY (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2020; 29:375-388.

Abstract
Hypoxia and mercury contamination often co-occur in tropical freshwater ecosystems, but the interactive effects of these two stressors on fish populations are poorly known. The effects of mercury (Hg) on recorded changes in the detailed form of the electrocardiogram (ECG) during exposure to progressive hypoxia were investigated in two Neotropical freshwater fish species, matrinxã, Brycon amazonicus and traíra, Hoplias malabaricus. Matrinxã were exposed to a sublethal concentration of 0.1 mg L-1 of HgCl2 in water for 96 h. Traíra were exposed to dietary doses of Hg by being fed over a period of 30 days with juvenile matrinxãs previously exposed to HgCl2, resulting in a dose of 0.45 mg of total Hg per fish, each 96 h. Both species showed a bradycardia in progressive hypoxia. Hg exposure impaired cardiac electrical excitability, leading to first-degree atrioventricular block, plus profound extension of the ventricular action potential (AP) plateau. Moreover, there was the development of cardiac arrhythmias and anomalies such as occasional absence of QRS complexes, extra systoles, negative Q-, R- and S-waves (QRS complex), and T wave inversion, especially in hypoxia below O2 partial pressures (PO2) of 5.3 kPa. Sub-chronic dietary Hg exposure induced intense bradycardia in normoxia in traira, plus lengthening of ventricular AP duration coupled with prolonged QRS intervals. This indicates slower ventricular AP conduction during ventricular depolarization. Overall, the data indicate that both acute waterborne and sub-chronic dietary exposure (trophic level transfer), at sublethal concentrations of mercury, cause damage in electrical stability and rhythm of the heartbeat, leading to myocardial dysfunction, which is further intensified during hypoxia. These changes could lead to impaired cardiac output, with consequences for swimming ability, foraging capacity, and hence growth and/or reproductive performance.

On the Cattaneo–Christov Heat Flux Model and OHAM Analysis for Three Different Types of Nanofluids. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
In this article, the boundary layer flow of a viscous nanofluid induced by an exponentially stretching surface embedded in a permeable medium with the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model (CCHFM) is scrutinized. We took three distinct kinds of nanoparticles, such as alumina (Al2O3), titania (TiO2) and copper (Cu) with pure water as the base fluid. The features of the heat transfer mechanism, as well as the influence of the relaxation parameter on the present viscous nanofluid flow are discussed here thoroughly. The thermal stratification is taken in this phenomenon. First of all, the problem is simplified mathematically by utilizing feasible similarity transformations and then solved analytically through the OHAM (optimal homotopy analysis method) to get accurate analytical solutions. The change in temperature distribution and axial velocity for the selected values of the specific parameters has been graphically portrayed in figures. An important fact is observed when the thermal relaxation parameter (TRP) is increased progressively. Graphically, it is found that an intensification in this parameter results in the exhaustion of the fluid temperature together with an enhancement in the heat transfer rate. A comparative discussion is also done over the Fourier’s law and Cattaneo–Christov model of heat.
