Interactions between Plants and Rare Earth Oxide Nanoparticles

(Corresponding) Zhang Z.

Topic:

Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects

Rare earth oxide nanoparticles (REO NPs) can be released into the environment from various application routes, but their effects on the ecosystem are still little known. In this study, we exposed cucumber seedlings to suspensions of La2O3 and CeO2 NPs for 14 d. Phytotoxicity of the two REO NPs was...Read more
