Toxicity of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles on Lentil, Wheat, and Bean Seeds

International Journal of Environmental Health Engineering, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: March 1, 2025

Abstract Aim: Zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles are used on a commercial scale in many countries. Despite numerous studies the toxicity of nanoparticles, few have addressed their edible grains. The aim this study was to investigate growth inhibition ZnO TiO lentil, wheat, bean seeds. Methods: were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Different concentrations (0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000 mg/l) prepared distilled water for irrigation seeds irrigated three times day 8 consecutive days, with 3 ml solution per irrigation. To determine number germinated counted, stem lengths measured caliper. Data analyzed calculate 50% lethal concentration (LC 50 ). Results: Exposure all both resulted reduction lentil Bean showed decreased increased . Wheat exhibited increases decreases at nanoparticle concentrations. Conclusions: This that toxic effect depends type Furthermore, plays significant role toxicity. Therefore, more research is needed explore effects different plants various environments better understand plant organs impact development.

Currently, one of the main challenges is mitigation effects climate change on agricultural sector. Conventional agriculture, with intensive use herbicides and pesticides to control weeds pests, improper mineral fertilizers, contributes by causing increased greenhouse gases groundwater pollution. Therefore, more innovative technologies must be used overcome these problems. One possible solution nanotechnology, which has potential revolutionize conventional system. Active nanoparticles can both as a direct source micronutrients delivery platform for bioactive agrochemicals improve crop growth, yield, quality. The nanoparticle formulations, including nano-pesticides, nano-herbicides, nano-fertilizers, nano-emulsions, been extensively studied health shelf-life products. Comprehensive knowledge interactions between plants opens up new opportunities cropping practices through enhancement properties such disease resistance, nutrient use. objective this review analyze practices, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers. It also focuses how introduction into efficiency chemical pest nutrition. Finally, examines in depth last 10 years (2014–2024) scientific literature regarding agriculture mitigate change.
