Impact of Ag NPs and AgNO3 on the histopathological studies of land slug (Lehmannia nyctelia) inhabiting Assiut city, Egypt

Abstract

In the past decades, nanotechnology has the use of nanoparticles (ENP) in a wide variety of fields. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) it was a source of interest for many environmental studies concerned with the study of toxicology since the early 2000s. Accumulated Nanomaterials in the soil through various activities such as sewage, atmospheric sedimentation, agrochemicals, and soil remediation[1]. Soil has been indicated pollutants [2]. The global productivity of Ag NPs ranges between 500 ton/year and 1000 ton/year [3, 4]. Ag NPs are used as an antimicrobial component in a lot of commercial products such ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: Received: 2022-05-23 Accepted: 2022-05-26 Online: 2022-08-14 _______________
