“…Magnetism is one of the numerous magnificent qualities of nanoparticles that fascinates researchers of both material sciences and biosciences [8][9][10]. Research is being conducted on the applications of magnetic nanoparticles in many fields [11][12][13][14], which include improving cell seeding and distribution in tissue engineering scaffolds, targeted imaging, and therapy [15,16]; targeted imaging and therapy [17]; improving anticancer drug efficiency by amplifying reactive oxygen species stress [18]; drug delivery applications [13]; magnetic resonance imaging [19]; magnetically induced local hyperthermia [20][21][22]; wastewater treatment [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], etc. Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) act as carriers for drug targets as they obey to an external magnetic field [31].…”

The remarkable physicochemical properties of nanomaterials have attracted researchers due to the numerous applications in the field of chemistry, biology, and physics. Despite the various applications, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are harmful to living organisms and to the environment as they are released without any safety testing. In this study, SPIONs were synthesized and further characterized. The aim of the study was to examine the toxicity of synthesized SPIONs against animal models: Zebrafish—Danio rerio, Earthworm—Eudrilus eugeniae, and Drosophila—Drosophila melanogaster through histology using Hematoxylin–Eosin and Prussian Blue staining. The accumulation of SPIONs was further quantified by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Through histology images, it was observed that the SPIONs had caused damages and a lower concentration of 0.001–0.002 μg/ml of metal accumulation was detected in the ICP-MS analysis.
