As the field of nanomedicine emerges, there is a lag in research surrounding the topic of
nanoparticle (NP) toxicity, particularly concerned with mechanisms of action. The continuous …

Around the globe, surges of bacterial diseases are causing serious health threats and
related concerns. Recently, the metal ion release and photodynamic and photothermal …

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a growing threat to global human health. Horizontal gene
transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is recognized as the primary contributor …

Microbial decomposers (bacteria and fungi) are likely to interact with plastic particles
introduced into natural systems, particularly micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs), exposing them …

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are commonly added to various consumer products and
materials to impair bacterial growth. Recent studies suggested that the primary mechanism …

We demonstrate for 24 metal oxide (MOx) nanoparticles that it is possible to use conduction
band energy levels to delineate their toxicological potential at cellular and whole animal …

The continuous degradation of plastic waste in the environment leads to the generation of
micro-and nanoplastic fragments and particles. Due to the ubiquitous presence of plastic …

Plastics contamination in the environment is a major concern. Risk assessment of micro-and
nanoplastics (MPL and NPL) poses significant challenges due to MPL and NPL …

Plastic is a wide-spread pollutant and must be evaluated for potential adverse effects of its
breakdown product, microplastic (≤ 5 mm) along with its subfraction, nanoplastic (1–100 …

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly entering the environment with uncertain
consequences including potential ecological effects. Various research communities view …
