The number of pollutants released into freshwater and marine environments has increased due to the widespread use of nanoparticles. Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) were tested for genotoxicity in fish fingerlings of the species Ctenopharyngodon idella. For 7, 14, and 21 days, fingerlings were exposed to NiO-NPs with each increasing concentrations of 2.

Here, we describe growth of a p-n junction catalyst (NiO/TiO) on a stainless-steel mesh (SSM) support using a facile hydrothermal method. The morphological superiority of the composite over previously reported NiO/TiO catalysts was probed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
