The field of nanotechnology has grown exponentially during the last few decades, due in
part to the use of nanoparticles in many manufacturing processes, as well as their potential …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), the most prevalent commercial nanomaterial products, are
widely released into the environment. AgNPs are toxic to various aquatic organisms, but …

Given the growing use of nanotechnology in many common consumer products, including
foods, evaluation of the consequences of chronic exposure to nanoparticles in humans has …

The widespread and increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) as biocide results in an
unknown release into the aquatic environment. In order to contribute to the understanding of …

BACKGROUND Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has become widely
practiced worldwide. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized using a hot‐water extract of the …

The aim of this study was to evaluate simultaneously a battery of biomarkers in Prochilodus
lineatus fish in order to obtain a holistic overview of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) toxicity …

The use of nanomaterials in several application fields has received in the last decades a
great attention due to their peculiar properties, but also raised many doubts about possible …

In this study, toxicity of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) was compared using zebrafish as a model organism. At 96 h, LC 50 …
