Zeolite beta toxicity towards D. rerio embryos

Zeolites are used in many fields of human activities [1]. Besides, new potential applications constantly emerge so understanding their possible impact on the environment is necessary [2]. In the frame of this study, zeolite beta nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by a complimentary set of experimental techniques. Their potential negative impact towards environment was evaluated using zebrafish Danio rerio embryos embryotoxicity test [3]. Such a comprehensive study pinpointed zeolite nanoparticles as safe materials and opened the door for their application, but also emphasized the need to reduce the presence of organic structure directing agents in nanosized zeolite synthesis reaction mixtures.
