Abstract
Assessing the environmental hazard of nanoparticles can be a challenging task using various testing strategies. However, to our knowledge, no information is available about the impact of the sample preparation on the toxicity and toxicity mechanism of nanoparticles. For this aim, three sample preparation methods and their available toxicity procedures were conducted to examine the (eco) toxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles using bacteria model system. To detail understanding of the effect of sample preparation, the key events on the inhibition were examined by physicochemical and antioxidant responses. The findings showed that the physicochemical and toxicological behavior of the tested TiO2 NPs varied according to the sample preparation method.
