Abstract The domains of science and technology, especially environmental protection, have brought a lot of change in nanotechnology. In the modern period, the growth of animals and plants with enough quantities is fundamentally obligatory by heavy metal ions (M+), such as Cr3+, Zn2+, Ní2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+.. However, because of their presence in both human and animal food webs, these metal ions are toxic to living things at relatively high concentrations. The ecologically friendly green approach was utilized to synthesis starch functionalized silver nanoparticles (St-Ag NPs) using water as a solvent, starch as a stabilizing agent, and glucose as a reducing agent. KOH has been used as an activator for glucose activation. The influence of diverse solutions such as AgNO3, starch, glucose, and KOH on the production of St-AgNPs was investigated. To see how these substances affect the production of St-Ag NPs, different controlled reactions were carried out in the absence of starch, glucose, and KOH. Starch, glucose, and KOH are discovered to play important roles in the synthesis of AgNPs. UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used for the characterization of St-Ag NPs. These starch functionalized AgNPs were used for the detection of heavy metals at 25℃. It is found during the screening process only Hg2+ showed clear changes in the color and absorption intensity of AgNPs which may be due to redox reaction that can occur between Ag0 and Hg2+. On the other hand, the color and absorption intensity of nanoparticles remain unchanged in the presence of all the other tested metals ion. The presence of other metal ions was also tested in the system. The proposed method has strong selectivity and sensitivity to Hg2+ ions. Using UV-visible spectrophotometry, the method produced had a detection limit of 1ppm. The proposed method for detecting Hg2+ in tap water samples was found to be successful..

The espousal of nanotechnology is a current come-up of the present revolution. As we know that the rose aphid, Macrosiphum rosae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a key pest on rose plant in Kashmir Valley, India, it exhibits a worldwide distribution. In the present study, we have synthesized biologically silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) from Solanum lycopersicum and characterized them by UV-vis spectroscopy, TEM, and X-RD analysis. The experiment was performed by leaf dip method. Insecticidal solutions of different Ag NPs concentrations, namely, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm, were tested on M. rosae. For assessment purposes, leaves were treated with distilled water (used as control). Aphid mortality data revealed that the Ag NPs were effective at 500 ppm concentration. As the concentration and day’s treatment increased, the aphid mortality rate also increased. There were statistically significant differences in M. rosae mortality between concentrations by LSD at 5%. In wrapping up, the use of Ag NPs in pest control processes will be the most novel eco-friendly approach in the Kashmir Valley, India, in future.

In the last decades, interest has significantly increased to to studying of nanodimensional particles, in particular, nanoparticles of various metals. In the first stage it is connected with the fact that nanoworld objects significantly differthe properties from macroobjects. Besides, there is a possibility of application of nanoparticles for receiving medical and biological medicines. In this study, we synthesized silver nanoparticles with various size and UV-VIS spectrophotometry,“Master Sizer” and “Zeta Sizer” tools characterized the nano species; we have conducted a simple and rapid one-pot synthesis method to generate nine colloids of Ag-NPs in different concentrations of TSCD and FSH. In this one-pot synthesismethod, we utilized citrate as capping groups to stabilize the NPs and FeSO4•7H2O to control the formation of shapes of NPs.

The plasma-assisted method was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles, and the growth process of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) was monitored in real time by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption spectroscopy. The effect of additives on the synthesis of Ag-NPs was verified. It is found that the addition of isopropanol and glucose can increase the plasmon resonance absorption intensity of the reaction solution, and promote the synthesis of Ag-NPs. In the plasma-assisted method, the additives can effectively improve the synthesis efficiency of Ag-NPs, which has great inspiration for the synthesis of other metal nanoparticles.

Environmental context Nanoparticles may be passed from primary producers to predators higher up the food chain, but little is currently known about this transfer. We studied the accumulation dynamics of silver nanoparticles by algae, and then from algae to zooplankton. Using the biodynamic approach, we reconstructed the accumulation process to show that diet is the primary route of uptake for silver nanoparticles. Abstract This study investigated the bioaccumulation dynamics of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with different coatings (polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and citrate), in comparison with aqueous Ag (added as AgNO3), in a simplified freshwater food chain comprising the green alga Chlorella vulgaris and the crustacean Daphnia magna. Algal uptake rate constants (ku) and membrane transport characteristics (binding site density, transporter affinity and strength of binding) were determined after exposing algae to a range of either aqueous Ag or Ag NP concentrations. In general, higher ku values were related to higher toxicity in the algae. Transmission electron microscopy images were used to investigate the internalisation of Ag NPs in algal cells following exposure to low concentrations for 72h (mimicking inhibition tests) or high concentrations for 4h (mimicking preparation for daphnia dietary exposure). Ag NPs were only visualised in algal cells exposed to high Ag NP concentrations. To establish D. magna biodynamic model constants, organisms were fed Ag-contaminated algae and depurated for 96h. Assimilation efficiencies ranged from 10 to 25% and the elimination of accumulated Ag followed a two-compartmental model, indicating lower loss rate constants for polyvinyl pyrrolidone-, and polyethylene glycol-coated Ag NPs. Biodynamic model results revealed that in most cases, food is the dominant pathway of Ag uptake in D. magna. Despite the predicted low steady-state body burdens in D. magna, dietary uptake of Ag was possible from aqueous and particulate forms of Ag.

Carbon-nanofiber-based screen-printed electrodes modified with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP-SPCNFEs) were tested in a pioneering manner for the direct determination of As(V) at low μg L−1 levels by means of differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. Screen-printed electrodes were modified with two different types of Ag-NPs, nanoseeds (NS), and nanoprisms (NPr) and characterized both microscopically and electrochemically. Furthermore, after optimizing the direct voltammetric determination of As(V), the analytical performance of considered sensors was compared for the direct determination of As(V). These results suggest that Ag-NS offer a better analytical response compared to Ag-NPr, with a detection and quantification limit of 0.6 and 1.9 µg L−1, respectively. The proposed methodology was validated using a spiked tap water sample with a very high reproducibility and good agreement with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurements.
