“…Surface functionalized Fe 3 O 4 nanomaterials are progressively being utilized in several environmental applications, raising concerns on their fate and ecological impacts [190]. Despite of their benefits [191,192], there are several concerns about the possible risks of iron oxide nanomaterials [193][194][195].…”

Nanotechnology implies the scientific research, development, and manufacture, along with processing, of materials and structures on a nano scale. Presently, the contamination of metalloids and metals in the soil has gained substantial attention. The consolidation of nanomaterials and plants in ecological management has received considerable research attention because certain nanomaterials could enhance plant seed germination and entire plant growth. Conversely, when the nanomaterial concentration is not properly controlled, toxicity will definitely develop. This paper discusses the role of nanomaterials as: (1) nano-pesticides (for improving the plant resistance against the biotic stress); and (2) nano-fertilizers (for promoting the plant growth by providing vital nutrients). This review analyzes the potential usages of nanomaterials in agroecosystem. In addition, the adverse effects of nanomaterials on soil organisms are discussed. We mostly examine the beneficial effects of nanomaterials such as nano-zerovalent iron, iron oxide, titanium dioxide, nano-hydroxyapatite, carbon nanotubes, and silver- and copper-based nanomaterials. Some nanomaterials can affect the growth, survival, and reproduction of soil organisms. A change from testing/using nanomaterials in plants for developing nanomaterials depending on agricultural requirements would be an important phase in the utilization of nanomaterials in sustainable agriculture. Conversely, the transport as well as ecological toxicity of nanomaterials should be seriously examined for guaranteeing its benign usage in agriculture.

“…Several biomarkers have so far been suggested and examined in laboratory experimental exposure (via water or food) on fish thus offering a first set of implements that can be used to quantify the consequences that chemicals exert [46][47][48]. Among them oxidative stress biomarkers (as usually directly measured through free radical production, protein oxidation increase, lipid peroxidation), genotoxicity (DNA damage increase) and metabolic biomarkers (definition of differentiations in metabolic pathways) are considered as the most commonly used in such studies [49][50][51][52].…”

Microplastics (MPs)’ ingestion has been demonstrated in several aquatic organisms. This process may facilitate the hydrophobic waterborne pollutants or chemical additives transfer to biota. In the present study the suitability of a battery of biomarkers on oxidative stress, physiology, tissue function and metabolic profile was investigated for the early detection of adverse effects of 21-day exposure to polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs, sized 5–12 μm) in the liver and gills of zebrafish Danio rerio and perch, Perca fluviatilis, both of which are freshwater fish species. An optical volume map representation of the zebrafish gill by Raman spectroscopy depicted 5 μm diameter PS-MP dispersed in the gill tissue. Concentrations of PS-MPs close to the EC50 of each fish affected fish physiology in all tissues studied. Increased levels of biomarkers of oxidative damage in exposed fish in relation to controls were observed, as well as activation of apoptosis and autophagy processes. Malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyls and DNA damage responses differed with regard to the sensitivity of each tissue of each fish. In the toxicity cascade gills seemed to be more liable to respond to PS-MPs than liver for the majority of the parameters measured. DNA damage was the most susceptible biomarker exhibiting greater response in the liver of both species. The interaction between MPs and cellular components provoked metabolic alterations in the tissues studied, affecting mainly amino acids, nitrogen and energy metabolism. Toxicity was species and tissue specific, with specific biomarkers responding differently in gills and in liver. The fish species that seemed to be more susceptible to MPs at the conditions studied, was P. fluviatilis compared to D. rerio. The current findings add to a holistic approach for the identification of small sized PS-MPs’ biological effects in fish, thus aiming to provide evidence regarding PS-MPs’ environmental impact on wild fish populations and food safety and adequacy.

“…However, toxicological impact of inorganic nanomaterial (LDH) to snails doesn't study until now. B. alexandrina snails are widely accepted invertebrate models to study the toxicity and toxico-kinetic of inorganic nanomaterial for aquatic ecosystem (Kaloyianni et al, 2020;Oliveira-Filho et al, 2017). It is the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni.…”

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials have recently become immense research area as it is used widely in industries. So, it's chance of their release into natural environment and risk assessment to non-target aquatic invertebrate increasing. So, the present study aimed to synthesize and confirme the crystalline formation of Co-Cd-Fe LDHs and Co-Cd-Fe /PbI2 (LDH), and then to investigate the toxic impact of the two LDH on the adult freshwater snails (Biomphalaia alexandrina). Results showed that Co-Cd-Fe /PbI2 LDH has more toxic effect to adult Biomphalaria than Co-Cd-Fe LDHs (LC50 was 56.4 mg/l, 72 h of exposure). The effect of LC25 (117.1 mg/l) of Co-Cd-Fe LDHs exposure on the embryo; showed suppression of embryonic development and induced embryo malformation. Also, it showed alterations in the tegmental architectures of the mantle-foot region of B. alexandrina snails as declared in scanning electron micrograph. Also, exposure to this sub lethal concentration caused abnormalities in hemocyte shapes and up-regulated IL-2 level in soft tissue. In addition, it decreased levels of non-enzymatic reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), caspase-3 activity and total protein content in significant manner. While, glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity was not affected by LDH exposure. It caused histopathological damages in both the hermaphrodite and digestive glands. Also, it has a genotoxic effect that was confirmed by alkaline comet assay. The results from the present study indicated that LDH has risk assessment on aquatic B. alexandrina snails and that it can be used as a biological indicator of water pollution with LDH
