Influence of the technique of copper nanoparticles administration on Mentha spicata

Abstract

Various stages of production, use and disposal of nanomaterials leads to their release into the environment with wastewater and emissions into atmosphere. Therefore, all components of ecosystems, including human health, can be affected. Spearmint (Mentha spicata), which is valuable raw plant materials, was chosen as the object of research. The main goal of this work was investigation of the effect of the treatment technique and the concentration of copper nanoparticle (CuNPs) solutions on the their accumulation and transfer in spearmint segments.
