Modeled environmental concentrations of engineered nanomaterials (TiO(2), ZnO, Ag, CNT, Fullerenes) for different regions. (2009, background): “Whereastoxiceffectsofnanomaterialsondifferent organismshavealreadybeendescribed( 2,3 ),measurements of environmental concentrations of ENMs are almost completely absent.”
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from Aloe vera leaf extract and antifungal activity against Rhizopus sp. and Aspergillus sp. (2015, background): “These IR spectroscopic studies confirmed that carbonyl group of amino acid residues have strong binding ability with metal suggesting the formation of layer covering metal nanoparticles and acting as capping agent to prevent agglomeration and providing stability to the medium (Baun et al. 2008).”
NanoGenotoxicology: the DNA damaging potential of engineered nanomaterials. (2009, background): “Very little data is currently available to assess the overall toxicity of nanoparticles in environmental species [150].”
Comparative environmental fate and toxicity of copper nanomaterials (2017, background): “In addition to the known toxic effect of exposure to non-nano Cu, there is the potential for additional nano-related toxicity resulting from exposure to Cu NPs in the environment (Garner and Keller, 2014; Perreault et al., 2012; Baun et al., 2008; Manusadžianas et al., 2012; Shaw et al., 2012).”
