TL;DR: Results show that approximately 23% of arsenic was volatilized from all culture media originally enriched with approximately 4 and 17 mg L(-1) of arsenic in trivalent form, and the order of ability of arsenic biovolatilization is Neosartorya fischeri > Aspergillus clavatus > As pergillus niger.

TL;DR: It is established that the ZnO-NPs treatment induced generally better sunflower physiological responses, while the TiO2-NBP treatment primarily affected quantitative and nutritional parameters such as oil content and changed sunflower physiology to early maturation.

TL;DR: The study of the effects of foliarly applied ZnO nanoparticles on Setaria italica L. foxtail millet’s quantitative, nutritional, and physiological parameters highlights that the slow-releasing nano-fertilizer improves plant physiological properties and various grain nutritional parameters, and its application is therefore especially beneficial for progressive nanomaterial-based industries.

TL;DR: The results from this study indicate that although moderately to heavily contamination of Hg, As, and Cd occurred in Dianchi Lake sediment, only Hg and As tend to transport to surface water and accumulate in commercial fish due to their higher mobility in sediment.

TL;DR: It appears that early root growth is a relevant indicator of potential effects of nTiO2 exposure, and synthesized n TiO2 are not significantly toxic to the barley when applied at the concentrations used in this work, even though plants absorb titanium.
