Study of the Stability, Uptake and Transformations of Zero Valent Iron Nanoparticles in a Model Plant by Means of an Optimised Single Particle ICP-MS/MS Method

Résumé

n the context of the widespread distribution of zero valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) in the environment and its possible exposure to many aquatic and terrestrial organisms, this study investigates the effects, uptake, bioaccumulation, localisation and possible transformations of nZVI in two different forms (aqueous dispersion—Nanofer 25S and air-stable powder—Nanofer STAR) in a model plant—Arabidopsis thaliana. Seedlings exposed to Nanofer STAR displayed symptoms of toxicity, including chlorosis and reduced growth. At the tissue and cellular level, the exposure to Nanofer STAR induced a strong accumulation of Fe in the root intercellular spaces and in Fe-rich granules in pollen grains. Nanofer STAR did not undergo any transformations during 7 days of incubation, while in Nanofer 25S, three different behaviours were observed: (i) stability, (ii) partial dissolution and (iii) the agglomeration process. The size distributions obtained by SP-ICP-MS/MS demonstrated that regardless of the type of nZVI used, iron was taken up and accumulated in the plant, mainly in the form of intact nanoparticles. The agglomerates created in the growth medium in the case of Nanofer 25S were not taken up by the plant. Taken together, the results indicate that Arabidopsis plants do take up, transport and accumulate nZVI in all parts of the plants, including the seeds, which will provide a better understanding of the behaviour and transformations of nZVI once released into the environment, a critical issue from the point of view of food safety.
