The spent black tea extract was utilized in order to synthesize the silver nanoparticles (SBT-AgNPs). Various parameters were tested yield best production of SBT-AgNPs. characterization conducted by X-Ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, Zeta potential and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). XRD analysis showed hkl planes corresponding (111), (200), (220), (311) at 2θ theta deg 38.3°, 40.8°, 64.5°, 74.2°. scanning microscopy reported plate like round shaped morphology AgNPs. zeta examined be -17.5 mV a size distribution intensity 157.6 d. nm observed. EDX employed determine purity samples reporting strong peak (Ag). degradation activity photocatalytic removal methylene blue malachite green dyes from textile wastewater. wastewater decrease 25% 58.3%. also reduced 33.3% 60%, which remarkably significant owing presence complex factor natural environment. study sets promising record harbor full available food waste resource, such as form SBT-AgNPs its application dye waste. multifaceted outcomes this resulted an eco-friendly procedure, thereby reusing material for environmental cleanup.

The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ whose hormones enable the proper functioning of organism. normal function this influenced by internal and external factors. One factors trace elements. Trace elements in appropriate concentrations are necessary for thyroid. Fe, Cu, Mn, I, Zn, Se part enzymes involved oxidative stress reduction, while Cd, Hg, Pb can increase ROS production. Cu Fe correct TPO synthesis. An imbalance concentration such as Co, Ag, Pb, cells lead to diseases Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, autoimmune nodules, cancer, postpartum thyroiditis. Lack adequate levels may hypothyroidism cancer development. gland’s ability absorb I reversibly reduced Co. Adequate required function; both deficiency excess predispose development disorders. High Mn hypothyroidism. Furthermore, cause progression. Insufficient Zn supplementation causes nodule Cd affecting molecular mechanisms also Hg accumulating interfere with hormone secretion stimulate cell proliferation. A higher risk were linked elevated levels. disrupts several On other hand, some be useful treatment diseases. Therefore, effects on require further research.
