Abstract
Co- exposure to nanoparticles can cause serious damage to aquatic organisms, including fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxic effects of simultaneous exposure to silica and zinc oxide nanoparticles on changes in the gill tissue of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, common carp were exposed to different concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles, silica dioxide, and a combination of these nanoparticles. After 28 days of exposure, the samples were prepared for gill histology. Devices such as XRD, FTIR, and SEM were used in this study. The present study showed that the exposure of common carp to nanoparticles caused various tissue damage, including capillary telangiectasia, hyperplasia, increased mucus secretion, clubbing of the apex of the secondary lamellae, and fusion. Also, the simultaneous exposure of two nanoparticles has more destructive effects than the separate state of nanoparticles, which can be concluded that the presence of silica nanoparticles increases the toxicity of zinc nanoparticles. In addition, different nanoparticles show different effects in different environments. Therefore, it should be noted that the use of different nanoparticles in different amounts requires more detailed and comprehensive studies on the effects of these nanoparticles on living organisms.
