“…To guarantee their safe usage, their potential toxicity must be carefully evaluated [162]. Fe NPs' toxicity is caused by many factors including shape, surface coating, size, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production [163].…”

In recent years, nanotechnology has achieved a remarkable status in shaping the future of biological applications, especially in combating fungal diseases. Owing to excellence in nanotechnology, iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) have gained enormous attention in recent years. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive overview of Fe NPs covering key synthesis approaches and underlying working principles, the factors that influence their properties, essential characterization techniques, and the optimization of their antifungal potential. In addition, the diverse kinds of Fe NP delivery platforms that command highly effective release, with fewer toxic effects on patients, are of great significance in the medical field. The issues of biocompatibility, toxicity profiles, and applications of optimized Fe NPs in the field of biomedicine have also been described because these are the most significant factors determining their inclusion in clinical use. Besides this, the difficulties and regulations that exist in the transition from laboratory to experimental clinical studies (toxicity, specific standards, and safety concerns) of Fe NPs-based antifungal agents have been also summarized.

“…30 In addition, the presence of IONPs could both influence the absorption and accumulation of TEs in plants, as well as enhance plant growth through improved nutrition and fertilization. 28,31 Studies showed that NPs could enhance the plant capacity to absorb more nutrients and increase efficiency of NPK use. 32 Also, organic matter (OM) can bound with IONPs (e.g.…”

“…, reduction of As( v ) to As( iii ) 27 ). 28 For instance, Demangeat et al observed that the increased Cu adsorption on IONPs was related to pH augmentation, which caused decreasing proton concentration at the magnetite surface, favoring cation attraction. 29 Under certain conditions, IONPs have been shown to decrease the toxicity of some TEs by decreasing their availability to plants.…”

“…24 Thus, IONPs effectively scavenge TEs and limit their transport through chemical mechanisms involving adsorption (both physical and chemical), 25,26 incorporation, and electron transfer (e.g., reduction of As(V) to As(III) 27 ). 28 For instance, Demangeat et al observed that the increased Cu adsorption on IONPs was related to pH augmentation, which caused decreasing proton concentration at the magnetite surface, favoring cation attraction. 29 Under certain conditions, IONPs have been shown to decrease the toxicity of some TEs by decreasing their availability to plants.…”
