Comparative Toxicity of TiO 2 and Sn-Doped TiO 2 Nanoparticles in Zebrafish After Acute and Chronic Exposure

This study was conducted to assess the toxicological potential of synthesized pure and Sn-doped TiO NPs (Sn-TiO NPs) in zebrafish after acute and chronic exposure. The pure TiO NPs, 4%, and 8% Sn-TiO NPs were synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope, diffus...

Description
Summary:This study was conducted to assess the toxicological potential of synthesized pure and Sn-doped TiO NPs (Sn-TiO NPs) in zebrafish after acute and chronic exposure. The pure TiO NPs, 4%, and 8% Sn-TiO NPs were synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope, diffuse reflectance spectra, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential analyses. The pure TiO NPs, 4%, and 8% Sn-TiO NPs were spherical with average sizes of about 40, 28, and 21 nm, respectively, indicating significant size reduction of TiO NPs following Sn doping. According to our results, the LC increased in the order of 8% Sn-TiO NPs (45 mg L )
