Nanomaterials via Green Synthesis: Insights into Biocompatibility and Biotechnological Applications
Abstract: This review critically examines recent advances in the green synthesis of nanomaterials (NMs) and their diverse biological applications, with a focus on antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. The reviewed studies evaluated key characteristics of green-synthesized NMs, including their size, shape, and concentrations, as assessed in both in vitro and in vivo biological models. Compared to traditional chemical methods, green synthesis demonstrated superior efficacy, enhanced biocompatibility, and reduced toxicity. For …

Assessing trends in Speciation of First-Row Transition Metals in Children's Playgrounds of Owerri, Nigeria
Abstract: Chemical species of metals affect toxicity but trends of these metals species in soils are less studied. This study examined the trends and variability of species of metals in soils from playgrounds within Owerri. Eighty-one composite soil samples from nine playgrounds were collected in dry and rainy season to reflect spatio-seasonal variability. Samples were characterized by standard methods in triplicates and then extracted sequentially. Concentrations of metal species were determined …

Properties of Nano-scale Material
Abstract: Nanomaterials (NMs) have gained prominence in technological advancements due to their tunable physical, chemical and biological properties with enhanced performance over their bulk counterparts. Nanomaterials can be divided based on their shape, size and their origin. Properties of nanomaterials play a major role in the production and maintenance of these materials.Because of expanded development of production of NMs and their role in industrial applications, their issues related to their toxicity …
