Article Synopsis
  • - Nanomaterials, especially cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs), are widely used in various industries, but concerns are rising about their environmental impacts due to increased production and use in consumer products.
  • - This study examined the effects of three types of CeO NPs on zebrafish embryos using the Fish Embryo Toxicity test, finding no lethal or sub-lethal effects on development but an increase in the EROD biomarker in treated larvae.
  • - The results showed a significant difference in EROD expression (p < 0.001) at a 1-mg/l concentration compared to controls, indicating the need for further research to clarify the potential effects of CeO NPs and their applications.*
