Heavy metals (HMs) are harmful and lethal at negligible levels and non-biodegradable in the typical ecosystem and constitutes animal, human and environmental hazards. They are divided into toxic metals like Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, etc. and essential elements like copper, zinc, manganese, iron, nickel and chromium. Additionally, could be categorized into two groups based on the natural and anthropogenic sources releasing origins. Population and industrial expansion led to food contamination with HMs. Poisonous metals can be transferred from irrigation water to agricultural soils, agricultural operations, air pollution, animal feed, and packaging materials. Toxic metals are non-biodegradable, non-thermos degradable, and exceedingly stable in the ecosystem; as a result, they quickly build in various foods. Metal pollution of many foods, including agricultural commodities, and animal protein sources such as fish, milk, meat, and eggs, poses a hazard to food safety and security. Toxic metal pollution of irrigation water, agricultural soils, plants, and animals result in their integration into the food chain, posing a health hazard to humans. Most metals are harmful to animals and humans and accumulate in several organs like the skeleton, hepatic tissue, spleen, and renal tissues. Metals have a deleterious impact on the production of plants and animals. As a result, several remediation strategies have become necessary to limit the hazardous HMs pathway into the food chain and the human body. Metal nanoparticles are employed in beneficial applications, although they are associated with specific hazards.

...ial properties of silver nanoparticles synthesized from cinnamon extract against bacteria isolated from fresh sheep meat. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by mixing 1ml of Cinnamon extract (0.025) % with (50ml) of silver nitrate solution (1.25)% and the ratio was (1:50) (v:v) at room temperature for (8hrs.) with pH(6.5-7) , later 8hrs, A higher pigment amount was seen. The physical features of AgNPs were pro...

...easily applied. Propolis nanoparticles are easily absorbed and have better antibacterial and antifungal effects than ordinary propolis. The present study aimed to compare propolis ethanolic extract (PEE) and propolis nanoemulsion (PN) as a feed additive in poultry farms by evaluating their influences on growth, immune status, and pathological conditions in chickens. The size, uniformity, and spherical shape of PN were measured at 4.065 ±1.12nm, with a p...

...ate the impact of silver nanoparticles (30 and 40 ppm) on growth and productivity of five different gloxinia cultivars i.e., Kaiser Wilhelm, Violaciea, Blenche de Meru, Mont Blance and Tigrina Red. The experiment was conducted following complete randomized design under controlled conditions. The results concluded that Blenche de Meru and Mont Blance were best among cultivars and exhibited the ameliorated vegetative and reproductive parameters. The maximum no. ...

... effectiveness of silver nanoparticles on Meloidogyne incognita populations in cabbage plants using aqueous extracts from Bixa orellena as reductant. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), statistical method was explored using GenStat 5.32 to achieve this. Formation of nanoparticles (NPs) was confirmed by reaction solution colour change, Fourier Transform Infra-red and Scanning Electron Microscopy (FTIR and SEM). Strong peaks on the ...
