“…Next, the uniformly pregrown seedlings were selected and exposed to Ag + , AgNPs, TiO 2 NPs, the mixture of AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs, or the Hoagland solution alone (as the negative control) via the roots for 28 days. 19 Each treatment had 30 seedlings/replicates. All of the tubes containing a seedling and exposure medium were covered with aluminum foil to minimize the impact of light-induced transformations of AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs.…”

“…For example, the transfer of AuNPs from tobacco to tobacco hornworm occurred with trophic transfer factors of 6.2–11.6, 17 while CeO 2 NPs were not magnified at all from lettuce to snail (trophic transfer factor = 0.037). 19 However, in none of the mentioned publications, the impact of trophic transfer of NPs on the behavioral alterations of the consumers was investigated. This information is valuable for assessing their possible risks to the environment and ecosystem health.…”

The increasing application of biosolids and agrochemicals containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) results in their inevitable accumulation in soil, with unknown implications along terrestrial food chains. Here, the trophic transfer of single NPs and a mixture of AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs from lettuce to snails and their associated impacts on snails were investigated. Both AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs were transferred from lettuce to snails with trophic transfer factors (defined as the ratio of the Ag/Ti concentration in snail tissues to the Ag/Ti concentration in lettuce leaves) of 0.2–1.1 for Ag and 3.8–47 for Ti. Moreover, the majority of Ag captured by snails in the AgNP-containing treatments was excreted via feces, whereas more than 70% of Ti was distributed in the digestive gland of snails in the TiO 2 NP-containing treatments. Additionally, AgNP-containing treatments significantly inhibited the activity of snails, while TiO 2 NP-containing treatments significantly reduced feces excretion of snails. Furthermore, the concurrent application of AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs did not affect the biomagnification and distribution patterns of Ag and Ti in snails, whereas their co-existence exhibited more severe inhibition of the growth and activity of snails than in the case of applying AgNPs or TiO 2 NPs alone. This highlights the possibility of nanoparticle transfer to organisms of higher trophic levels via food chains and the associated risks to ecosystem health.

“…Wang et al ( 2013 ) reported that the Solanum lycopersicum L. growth was smaller when plants were spiked with CeO 2 -ENPs, and, consequently, the biomass production decreased, but the ROS content in root was improved. In contrast, Xie et al ( 2019 ) and Ma et al ( 2018 ) found that the presence of CeO 2 -ENPs in Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Brassica rapa L. plants, respectively, did not affect their growth, but in the case of Brassica rapa L., the chlorophyll content increased.…”

“…In another study where Ce-ENPs were added (1000 mg kg −1 dry soil) in soil pots containing lettuce ( Lactuca sativa ) and snails ( Achatina fulica ), a trophic transfer of Ce-ENPs from the plant toward the snails was demonstrated. It shows that the potential risk of transferring Ce to humans through the food chain is less obvious (Ma et al, 2018 ). By contrast, Chae et al ( 2016 ) studied a trophic transfer of NPs from Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast to Armadillidium vulgare through the Folsomia candida (collembola).…”

Graphical abstract Currently, hundreds of different nanomaterials with a broad application in products that make daily lives a little bit easier, in every aspect, are being produced on an industrial scale at thousands of tons per year. However, several scientists, researchers, politics, and ordinary citizens have stated their concern regarding the life cycle, collateral effects, and final disposal of these cutting-edge materials. This review summarizes, describes, and discusses all manuscripts published in the Journal Citation Reports during the last 10 years, which studied the toxicity or the effects of nanomaterials on human and environmental health. It was observed that 23.62% of the manuscripts analyzed found no ecological or human risks; 54.39% showed that several nanomaterials have toxicological effects on the ecosystems, human, or environmental health. In comparison, only 21.97% stated the nanomaterials had a beneficial impact on those. Although only 54.39% of the manuscripts reported unfavorable effects of nanomaterials on ecosystems, human, or environmental health, it is relevant because the potential damage is invaluable. Therefore, it is imperative to make toxicological studies of nanomaterials with holistic focus under strictly controlled real conditions before their commercialization, to deliver to the market only innocuous and environmentally friendly products.

Soybean Interaction with Engineered Nanomaterials: A Literature Review of Recent Data

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

With a continuous increase in the production and use in everyday life applications of engineered nanomaterials, concerns have appeared in the past decades related to their possible environmental toxicity and impact on edible plants (and therefore, upon human health). Soybean is one of the most commercially-important crop plants, and a perfect model for nanomaterials accumulation studies, due to its high biomass production and ease of cultivation. In this review, we aim to summarize the most recent research data concerning the impact of engineered nanomaterials on the soya bean, covering both inorganic (metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles) and organic (carbon-based) nanomaterials. The interactions between soybean plants and engineered nanomaterials are discussed in terms of positive and negative impacts on growth and production, metabolism and influences on the root-associated microbiota. Current data clearly suggests that under specific conditions, nanomaterials can negatively influence the development and metabolism of soybean plants. Moreover, in some cases, a possible risk of trophic transfer and transgenerational impact of engineered nanomaterials are suggested. Therefore, comprehensive risk-assessment studies should be carried out prior to any mass productions of potentially hazardous materials.
