Exopolymeric substances (EPS) have an important role in bioaccumulation and toxicity of
nanoparticles (NPs) to algae, which warrants specific studies. The interaction of EPS with …

While the importance of nanoparticle (NP) characterization under relevant test conditions is
widely recognized in nanotoxicology, few studies monitor NPs behavior in the presence of …

The effect of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), vital organic matters and nutrient
elements in the natural environment, on the behavior and toxicology of silver nanoparticles …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are causing threats to the environment. Silver NPs (AgNPs) are
increasingly used in commercial products and may end up in freshwater ecosystems. The …

In the natural environment, the interactions of different types of nanoparticles (NPs) may alter
their toxicity, thus masking their true environmental effects. This study investigated the …

In this study, we report that silver ions (Ag+) from the oxidative dissolution of silver
engineered nanoparticles (Ag-ENs) determined the EN toxicity to the marine diatom …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can gradually accumulate in algae to exert their toxicity;
however, there is little knowledge about their bioaccumulation dynamics. For the first time …

Despite the extensive studies on silver nanoparticle (AgNP) toxicity, the contribution of
released silver ions to the toxicity still remains debatable. This study investigated the toxicity …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been increasingly used in a wide range of consumer
products over the last decade. The release of AgNPs into aquatic ecosystems raises …

Abstract Background Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are widely applied and can, upon use, be
released into the aquatic environment. This raises concerns about potential impacts of AgNP …
