The current article presents a simple new route of cost-effective and straight forward synthesis of the anatase structure of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs). The solvent Hydrothermal Phase Transformed (HPT) method adopted for the conversion of bulk precursor of TiO powder at Nano scale to get contaminated free photoactive TiO2 NPs. The morphology, crystal phase and surface area characterization of NPs completed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The composition of elements in NPs determined through Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS or EDX). The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) employed for molecular components and structures. Synthesized NPs showed 3D hexagonal pure anatase phase with size of 68 to 97 nm. The toxicity of TiO NPs discovered on the water chemistry using two microbes like Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli.) and Acridine Orange (AO) by the dose-dependent manner followed by higher antimicrobial activities and degradation properties at shallow concentration in water respectively. The higher antimicrobial activities of 3D crystal structure related to its highest photo catalytic properties leading to membrane damage of microbes and mineralization of the dye. The recycled photo catalyst TiO after 4 cycles retained the degradation efficiency of 75% against AO, subsequently concluded that the method of preparation was effective.

Exposure of lung epithelia to aerosols is omnipresent. Chronic exposure to polluted air is a significant factor in the development of pulmonary diseases, which are among the top global causes of death, including COVID-19, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and tuberculosis. As efforts to prevent and treat lung diseases increase, the development of pulmonary drug delivery systems has become a major area of interest.

Introduction: Current intestinal models lack the mechanical forces present in the physiological environment, limiting their reliability for nanotoxicology studies. Here, we developed an enhanced Caco-2/HT29-MTX-E12 co-culture model incorporating orbital mechanical stimulation to better replicate intestinal conditions and investigate nanoparticle interactions.
Methods: We established co-cultures under static and dynamic conditions, evaluating their development through multiple approaches including barrier integrity measurements, gene expression analysis, and confocal microscopy.

This research investigates the microbial inactivation potential of ternary TiO-CuO-chitosan nanocomposites (TCC NCs) applied as surface coatings on cowhide leather. Initially, bare TiO nanoparticles (NPs) and binary TiO-CuO (TC) NCs, with varying CuO NPs content, were prepared using an sol-gel method. These binary TC NCs were then modified with chitosan at varying weight percentages (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%).

Pickering emulsions (PEs) have demonstrated significant potential in various fields, including catalysis, biomedical applications, and food science, with notable advancements in wastewater treatment through photocatalysis. This study explores the development and application of TiO-poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) composite gels as a novel framework for photocatalytic wastewater remediation. The research focuses on overcoming challenges associated with conventional nanoparticle-based photocatalytic systems, such as agglomeration and inefficient recovery of particles.

ZnO and TiO nanoparticles (NPs) are widely employed for their antibacterial properties, but their potential environmental impact is raising concerns. This study aimed to assess their single and combined effects at environmentally relevant concentrations (210 μg L) on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gills microbiota and immune functions. 16S rRNA gene sequencing performed after 5 and 28 days of exposure suggests that TiO NPs had a more immediate impact on bacterial diversity, while prolonged exposure to the mixture altered community composition.
