Toxicity of Silver Nanoparticles on Catla Fish, authored by T. Abirami, is a comprehensive guide that delves into the intricate relationship between the use of silver nanoparticles and the adverse effects it has on the Catla fish population. The book draws attention to the increasing demand for nanotechnology and how it has resulted in the presence of silver nanoparticles in the aquatic environment. The study explores the impact of silver nanoparticles on Catla fish, one of the most commonly consumed freshwater fish in India.
The book covers a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, aquatic environment, water quality, fish physiology, bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, genotoxicity, histopathology, enzyme activity, DNA damage, nanotoxicology, nanoparticle size, concentration, surface area, shape, coating, stability, dissolution, aggregation, and interactions. The research also explores the impact of silver nanoparticles on other fish species, particularly zebrafish, to further establish the adverse effects of silver nanoparticles in aquatic environments.
The book highlights the importance of environmental monitoring and the need for toxicity testing to assess the impact of silver nanoparticles on fish health, metabolism, behavior, and habitat. The author emphasizes the need for environmental risk assessment and impact assessment to mitigate the potential risks of silver nanoparticle contamination in aquatic environments. Furthermore, the study also examines the broader implications of silver nanoparticle use and its impact on waterborne pollutants, heavy metal toxicity, biodiversity, and environmental chemistry.
Overall, Toxicity of Silver Nanoparticles on Catla Fish provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of silver nanoparticles on aquatic environments, particularly Catla fish populations. The study sheds light on the potential risks associated with the use of silver nanoparticles and highlights the need for continued research to understand its impact on the environment and biodiversity.
