However, their potential environmental impact remains a concern. This study evaluates the acute toxicity and physiological effects of biogenic AgNPs synthesized using Aspergillus tubingensis (AgNP-AT) on Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), a widely used bioindicator species. AgNP-AT were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometry (SPR peak at 420 nm), dynamic light scattering (DLS; 48±5 nm), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM; 35±10 nm). The 96-hours median lethal concentrations (LC50) for AgNP-AT was determined as 8.8 μM, whereas AgNO3 exhibited a significantly lower LC50 of 0.028 μM, indicating its higher toxicity. Exposure to AgNP-AT at 30, 35, and 40 μM resulted in a significant increase in oxygen consumption (from 0.2 to 0.4 mL O2/g/L/h) without affecting ammonia excretion. Swimming activity was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner, with fish exposed to 40 μM showing the most pronounced impairment. Histopathological analysis revealed a reduction in lamellar length (50% decrease) and an increase in lamellar width (60% increase), demonstrating structural alterations in the gills. These findings show that AgNP-AT, although less toxic than AgNO3, still induces physiological and morphological effects in Nile tilapia. This study provides valuable data for assessing the environmental risks of biogenic AgNPs and contributes to the development of safer nanotechnology applications.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143837591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its inherent excess salts and contaminants restrict direct agricultural application. In this study, ACW was treated with a dilute nitric acid solution to remove excess salts and contaminants, yielding the soaked activated coke waste (SACW) sample. The research systematically examined the adsorption properties and mechanisms of SACW for salt ion removal by solution experiment. Additionally, soil cultivation experiments were conducted to evaluate its potential in improving plant growth within saline-alkali soils. Compared to raw ACW, SACW exhibited reduced pH and electrical conductivity (EC), elevated oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) ratio, and expanded pore volume. SACW displayed ion adsorption selectivity in the order of SO₄<sup>2</sup>⁻ &gt; Na⁺ &gt; Cl⁻. Isothermal adsorption analysis revealed that Na⁺ and Cl⁻ adsorption aligned with the Langmuir model, whereas SO₄<sup>2</sup>⁻ adsorption adhered to the Freundlich model. Application of SACW (≥ 10 g kg⁻<sup>1</sup>) effectively improved saline-alkali soil properties by lowering pH and salinity, enhancing soil aggregate stability, and promoting nutrient utilization efficiency. Notably, SACW-treated soils supported maize plants with significantly increased height and biomass (13.94% and 159.28% higher, respectively; <i>P</i> ≤ 0.05) compared to untreated controls. These benefits stemmed from improved nutrient availability and reduced salt stress-induced plasma membrane damage.

In recent years, the focus is being shifted to multicomponent nanomaterials (MCNMs), due to the control over their functional properties. At the same time, the increasing exposure of ecosystems to such materials has raised concerns over their environmental hazard, with several <em>in vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em> studies used to assess the ecotoxicity of MCNMs. The demanding nature of such methods has also led to the increasing development of <em>in silico</em> methods, such as structure–activity relationship (SAR) models. Although such approaches have been developed for single component nanomaterials, models for the ecotoxicity of MCNMs are still sparse in scientific literature. In this paper, we address the case of MCNM ecotoxicity by developing an <em>in silico</em> classification SAR computational framework. The models are built over a dataset of 652 ecotoxicity measurements for 214 metal and metal oxide MCNMs, towards bacteria, eukaryotes, fish, plants and crustaceans. This dataset is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the largest dataset used for MCNM ecotoxicity. It is found that two descriptors can adequately classify different MCNMs based on their ecotoxicity over the whole heterogeneous dataset. These descriptors are the hydration enthalpy of the metal ion and the energy difference between the MCNM conduction band and the redox potential in biological media. Although the classification does not allow a quantitative ecotoxicity assessment, the heterogeneous nature of the dataset can reveal key MCNM features that induce toxic action, allowing a more holistic understanding of MCNM ecotoxicity, as well as the nature of interaction between the different MCNM components.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
