Abstract (EN)

As the days goes on, increasing the amount of production and manufacturing diversity rapidly growing nanomaterials and there is also that the number and variety of works related to the evaluation of the toxicity of nanoparticles in the environment. However, when we look at the numbers and variety of products obtained by using nanotechnology, the products obtained with this new technology's of toxicity studies' qualities and quantities adequacy is controversial.In this study, the use of metal oxide(s) nanoparticles which are rapidly growing and expanding, as a result of environmental release of nanoparticles aimed to evaluate the negative effects on human health and the environment. By applying to nutrient solution, water and soil media with different concentrations of TiO2 and ZnO nanomaterials which are obtained using different production methods. Afterwards, the effects on germination of seeds of various agricultural crops in these environments and effects on the development of plant's parts such as roots, stems and leaves are evaluated by morphological and physiological changes. Also, following the method of USEPA was used for prepared to plant and soil samples. After than heavy metal ion deposition of prepared samples were analyzed and presented differentiation of deposition by using ICP-OES. When the results were analyzed, exposed ZnO nanoparticles to the plants, with the increase of zinc ion doses, an especially accumulation in the root's portion. Accordingly, the plant growth by inhibiting showed that toxic effects occurred. However, for exposure formed by the TiO2 nanoparticles have not been detected a given negative or toxic effects. In this study, effects of ZnO and TiO2 nanomaterials on agricultural crops' germination and development processes are evaluated. Accordingly, the patented production technology MicNo® products' and already realized sales of commercial products' effects have been evaluated and results showed that the differences and advantages of MicNo® production technology.
