Saad Kariem Shather

The toxicities of CuO NPs, CuO bulk, and Cu2+ are different, but the 30-min half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of ZnO NPs indicate that the toxic effects of ZnO NPs, bulk ZnO particles and Zn2+ are similar [52,53,54].

Thank you. Others mean metal oxide nanoparticles such as SiO2, TiO2, CeO2 etc. In most research, CuO and ZnO are found to be more toxic.

They are TNF-alpha producers, the least to say.
