The Combined Effect of ZnO and CeO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles on <i>Pisum sativum</i> L.: A Photosynthesis and Nutrients Uptake Study

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO<sub>2</sub> NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are emerging pollutants that are likely to occur in the contemporary environment. So far, their combined effects on terrestrial plants have not been thoroughly investigated. Obviously, this subject is...

description Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO<sub>2</sub> NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are emerging pollutants that are likely to occur in the contemporary environment. So far, their combined effects on terrestrial plants have not been thoroughly investigated. Obviously, this subject is a challenge for modern ecotoxicology. In this study, <i>Pisum sativum</i> L. plants were exposed to either CeO<sub>2</sub> NPs or ZnO NPs alone, or mixtures of these nano-oxides (at two concentrations: 100 and 200 mg/L).
