Zinc and nano-ZnO – influence on living organisms
Abstrakt
The use of zinc is very common in many industries. The multitude
of advantages, and capabilities make use of different forms of penetration
of zinc into the environment. Due to its ability to migrate, zinc is also
accumulated in living organisms. Zn is an essential trace element but both
the deficiency or excess are extremely dangerous for living organisms.
Nowadays nanozinc has been increasingly used. Nanozinc is a component
of daily used products, like plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, rubber, foods
and many others. This leads to spreading nanozinc the environment with
the possibility of its penetration into living organisms. This article is a
review of the impact of zinc and zinc nanoparticles on a variety of organisms:
ranging from microorganisms through plants and animals, to people.
