Purpose With the increased availability of nanoparticle-based products, their releases to soil
are undoubtedly inevitable. Among the nanoparticle-based products, potential risks of metal …

In recent years the behavior and properties of nanoparticles released to the environment
have been studied extensively to better assess the potential consequences of their broad …

Increased availability of nanoparticle-based products will, inevitably, expose the
environment to these materials. Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) may thus find their way …

The wide use of metal oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) will inevitably increase their
environmental release into soil, which consequently raises concerns about their …

Several types of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are being considered for direct
application to soils to reduce the application and degradation of pesticides, provide …

A significant knowledge gap in nanotechnology is the absence of standardized protocols for
examining the effect of engineered nanoparticles on soil microorganisms. In this study …

Widespread use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) threatens soil, plants, terrestrial and
aquatic animals. Thus, it is essential to explore the fate and behavior of NPs in soil and also …

Metal nanoparticles and metal oxides nanoparticles (MNPs/MONPs) have been widely
included in a great diversity of products and industrial applications and they are already a …

Aims of this work were to understand the effects of metal oxide (CeO2, Fe3O4, SnO2)
engineered nanoparticles (NPs) on microbial biomass and to evaluate their availability and …

The widespread production and use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) in recent years
have posed potential threat to the ecosystem. This study aimed to investigate the …
