Modulation mechanism of phytotoxicity on Ipomoea aquatica Forssk. by surface coating-modified copper oxide nanoparticles and its health risk assessment

A critical review on the toxicity regulation and ecological risks of zinc oxide nanoparticles to plants

“…The NPs entering natural systems are extremely likely to be ingested by plants 16 and animals 17 from where they can be transmitted to higher trophic levels via the aquatic 18 or terrestrial 19 food chain. Mathematical models 20 and biodynamic methods 21 can predict the toxicity of NPs in trophic transfer, and the risk assessment also confirmed that the consumption of NP-contaminated plants may pose a potential health threat 22 due to typical accumulation effects. The above-mentioned fate of the source and release of NPs in the environment is shown in Fig.…”

An Overview of the Copper Oxide Nanofillers Integrated in Food Packaging Systems

“…As shown in Figure 2, doping agents can be metallic (common metals and metal oxides) or non-metallic agents. A few other dopants, such as polymers, macromolecules, sulfur, nitrogen, chloride, and nitrates, have been used to enhance the properties of CuO NPs [57][58][59][60][61]. Most of the reported studies suggest that the concentration of metal precursors, stoichiometry, temperature, pH, and reducing and stabilizing agents play a crucial role in the structural and functional features of CuO nanofillers.…”
