Nanoparticle production is on the rise due to its many uses in the burgeoning
nanotechnology industry. Although nanoparticles have growing applications, there is great …

Daphnids are freshwater crustaceans used in toxicity tests. Although lethality and
immobilisation are the most commonly used endpoints in those tests, more sensitive …

Background The high production volume of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) may lead to
high pressure on the environment, and a scientific assessment of ENMs that bioaccumulate …

The toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2‐NP) in the blood, liver, muscle, and brain
of a Neotropical detritivorous fish, Prochilodus lineatus, was tested. Juvenile fish were …

The wide production and utilization of nanoparticulate Ag and Ti inevitably result in their
release into the environment. Thus far, limited information is available regarding to what …

Release of silver ions (Ag+) is often regarded as the major cause for silver nanoparticle
(AgNP) toxicity toward aquatic organisms. Nevertheless, differentiating AgNPs and Ag+ in a …

The current lack of commonly used protocols for dispersion, characterization, and aquatic
toxicity testing of nanomaterials (NMs) has resulted in inconsistent results, which make …

Microplastics (MPs) are the significant environmental factor for bioavailability of hydrophobic
organic contaminants (HOCs) in aquatic environments. Nevertheless, the bioavailability of …

Aquatic environments are complicated systems that contain different types of nanoparticles
(NPs). Nevertheless, recent studies of NP toxicity, and especially those that have focused on …

A combination of synchrotron-based elemental analysis and acute toxicity tests was used to
investigate the biodistribution and adverse effects in Daphnia magna exposed to uranium …
