Journal ArticleDOI

Biomimetic synthesis of silver nanoparticles by Citrus limon (lemon) aqueous extract and theoretical prediction of particle size

TL;DR: It was found that citric acid was the principal reducing agent for the nanosynthesis process and the probable stabilizing agent for silver nanoparticles as demonstrated by FT-IR spectral studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotoxicity of silver nanoparticles in Allium cepa.

TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles could penetrate plant system and may impair stages of cell division causing chromatin bridge, stickiness, disturbed metaphase, multiple chromosomal breaks and cell disintegration, and the findings suggest that plants as an important component of the ecosystems need to be included when evaluating the overall toxicological impact of the nanoparticles in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic contamination in groundwater: a global perspective with emphasis on the Asian scenario.

TL;DR: An overview of the current scenario of arsenic contamination in countries across the globe with an emphasis on Asia is presented, including the present situation in severely-affected countries in Asia, such as Bangladesh, India, and China.
Journal ArticleDOI

Process variables in biomimetic synthesis of silver nanoparticles by aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of process variables like reductant concentrations, reaction pH, mixing ratio of the reactants and interaction time on the morphology and size of silver nanoparticles synthesized using aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasonic emulsification of food-grade nanoemulsion formulation and evaluation of its bactericidal activity.

TL;DR: Basil oil (Ocimum basilicum) nanoemulsion was formulated using non-ionic surfactant Tween80 and water by ultrasonic emulsification method and evaluated for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli by kinetics of killing experiment.
