Table 2.

The concentration of zinc ions released was measured in ZnO NPs suspension in the absence and presence of lettuce seeds.

ZnO NPs Concentration No seeds
Seeds
Zn+2 Zn+2 released of the total Zn Zn+2 Zn+2 released of the total Zn
25 ppm 0.643 2.572 0.394 1.576
50 ppm 1.08 2.1 0.681 1.362

For elemental analysis, the measured amounts of Zn was reported in ppm (1 ppm equates to ppm).
