Nanotoxicology refers to the study of the interaction of nanostructure with a biological system with an emphasis on elucidating the relationship between the physical and chemical properties of nanostructure with the induction of toxic biological responses. In this study, an attempt has been made to understand the protective effect of fruit juices on the reduction of ZnO nanoparticle-induced toxicity. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reaction of zinc nitrate with sodium hydroxide as the reducer. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by suitable analytical techniques. UV-Vis spectroscopy study reveals the Plasmon absorption maxima at 200-600 nm, and X-ray diffraction and Atomic Force Microscopic analyses revealed the highly stable nanoparticles. Nanoparticles coated fruit juices was confirmed by changes or shift in the absorption spectra. Phytotoxicity studies indicated that the fruit juices coated zinc oxide nanoparticles were not inducing any effect on seedling emergence and plant growth. Cytotoxicity studies using RAW 264.7 cell lines were done by MTT Assay, where the IC50 values.

This study which designed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Ethanolic extract of (Quercusrobur) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles on the growth of one genus of enterobacteriacae (Salmonella). In vitro. For this purpose graduate concentrates for plant extract (50, 100, 200, 400 )mg/ml which prepared and compared with Zinc oxide nanoparticles of different concentration (2, 1, 0.5, 0.25) μg/ml,and examined. The result showed that the studied medicinal plant has antibacterial activity against this bacteria which used. The result showed that the plant has good activity in decrease the growth of this bacteria. The results of the study also showed that the nano-ZnO has very effective antibacterial action against the studied bacteria which was Salmonella,nanoparticles concentrations lead to increasing in the inhibition zones of tested bacterial growth. We also study the effect of three antibiotics Lomefloxacin (LOM), Ciprofloxacin (SIP) and Rifampin (RA) and the result showed,in a comparison within the tested bacteria,Salmonella had a significant inhibition increase in Lomefloxacin ; the ciprofloxacin showed effect on tested bacteria. However,Rifampin does not show any effect on tested bacteria.
