Recent Progress in Nanoparticles Based Sensors for the Detection of Mercury (II) Ions in Environmental and Biological Samples

Green cleanup of styrene-contaminated soil by carbon-based nanoscale zero-valent iron and phytoremediation: Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea), zinnia (Zinnia violacea Cav.), and marigold (Tagetes erecta L.)

“…Nano-phytoremediation offers substantial environmental benefits, requiring limited energy, material consumption, and CO 2 sequestration (O'Connor et al, 2019). However, sustainable nano-phytoremediation depends on variety of meteorological parameters; therefore, it is crucial to identify and use environmentally stable nanomaterials [ 58 ]. Using life cycle assessment software (SigmaPro (free trial)), the life cycle of this green remediation was divided into five stages: manufacturing of AC and green-synthesized nZVI, transportation, construction and installation, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning and disposal for plants.…”

Unique three-dimensional ordered macroporous dealloyed gold–silver electrochemical sensing platforms for ultrasensitive mercury(ii) monitoring

“…1 As a widespread heavy metal ion, the watersoluble mercury(II) (Hg 2+ ) ion is a potentially highly toxic environmental pollutant even at very low concentrations and has been listed as a major pollutant for monitoring in the Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS). 2,3 In particular, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) have also set the maximum allowable concentration in drinking water at 30 nM and 10 nM, respectively, and there is a high demand for the sensitive and selective detection of Hg 2+ in the environment and food industry. 4,5 Therefore, the development of new sensitive, rapid and simple methods for the quantitative detection of Hg 2+ with high specificity has attracted increasing attention.…”

Magnesium Sulfide Nanoparticles of Hordeum vulgare: Green Synthesis and their nano- nutrient impact on seed priming effect, germination, root and shoot length of Brassica nigra and Trigonella foenum-graecum

“…The fascinating and constantly expanding area of nanotechnology allows the creation of extremely microscopic substances (Azzazy et al, 2012;Gul et al, 2024;Kaur, 2024). Applications of nanotechnology have improved impact on electronics (Pyun et al, 2023), therapeutics (Al-Taie and Özcan Bülbül, 2024; Gul et al, 2024), food (Nanda et al, 2024;Wang et al, 2024), sustainable agriculture (Mohammadi et al, 2024), chemical and pharmaceutical industries (Chakraborty et al, 2023;Iqubal et al, 2022), and environmental health (Pamanji et al, 2024;Wang et al, 2024). Innovative nanomaterial synthesis methods have advanced nanoscience and technology throughout the past decade.…”
