A Study on Toxicity of Chemically Synthesised Silver Nanoparticle on Eudrilus eugeniae
Tóm tắt
To evaluate the toxicity of the silver nanoparticle against earthworms - Eudrilus eugeniae, a model for soil organism. Silver nanoparticles were synthesised by chemical reduction and further characterised by UV Visible Spectroscopy and FeSEM. Earthworms were allowed to interact with different concentrations of the synthesized silver nanoparticles. After exposure period, histology and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) were done to determine the accumulation and toxic effects exhibited by the nanoparticle on earthworms. The synthesized nanoparticle was found to be between the size of 180 and 200 nm. Histology studies revealed that silver nanoparticles to cause fibrosis, lipofuscin-like deposits and also gut disruption in earthworms. Silver nanoparticles were found to be toxic to Eudrilus eugeniae, which was evidenced by histology.
