The use of nanoscale materials is growing exponentially, but there are also concerns about
the environmental hazard to aquatic biota. Metal-containing engineered nanoparticles (NPs) …

Metallic nanoparticles are among the most widely used types of engineered nanomaterials;
however, little is known about their environmental fate and effects. To assess potential …

Manufactured nanomaterials (NM) are already used in consumer products and exposure
modelling predicts releases of ng to low µg l− 1 levels of NMs into surface waters. The …

Research has demonstrated that metallic nanoparticles produce toxicity in aquatic
organisms that is due largely to effects of particulates as opposed to release of dissolved …

Metallic nanoparticles are gaining importance in various fields of life due to their large
surface area to volume ratio. However, metallic nanoparticles pose different toxic effects on …

Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles have been widely used in catalytic, electronic and
biomedical fields. It is necessary to investigate their toxicity and potential hazards to human …

Increasing use of metallic nanomaterials is likely to result in release of these particles into
aqueous environments; however, it is unclear if these materials present a hazard to aquatic …

Emerging data suggests that some types of nanoparticles (NPs) are toxic to fish, and given
the well-known toxicity of dissolved metals, there are also concerns about whether metal …

The specific properties of metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) have not only led to rapidly
increasing applications in various industrial and commercial products, but also caused …

There is an emerging literature reporting toxic effects of manufactured nanomaterials (NMs)
and nanoparticles (NPs) in fish, but the mechanistic basis of both exposure and effect are …
