Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) is usually fabricated by physical and chemical methods which, consequently, may have adverse effects for human and environment. Therefore, novel environmentally friendly synthesis methods for are essential and preferred. The purpose of this study was to synthesize TiO2 NPs using Echinophora cinerea extract and evaluate its toxicity on zebra fish. In the work, extraction phase was performed using a water as solvent. FTIR, XRD, SEM, and DLS analyzes were performed to determine the characteristics of synthesized TiO2 NPs. The effect of different parameters such as pH, extract concentration, TiO2 concentration, and temperature were investigated on TiO2 NP and optimized. Then, the acute toxicity of synthesized TiO2 NPs at different concentrations was investigated for 96h on zebra fish. The bioassay data was analyzed via probit regression technique. Based on the obtained results, the optimal conditions for the synthesized TiO2 NPs were 9, 20 g/L, 0.4 g/L, and 25 °C for pH, extract concentration, TiO2 concentration and temperature, respectively. Both FTIR and XRD analysis confirmed the stability and structure of the synthesized NPs. According to SEM and DLS analysis, the synthesized NPs were spherical in shape and about 244.7 nm in diameter. Based on bioassay, LC50 for green synthesized TiO2 NPs with Echinophora cinerea extract at 48 h was 300 mg/L, which revealed a less hazardous material.
