Unabated use of nanoplastics (< 1 μm) in the consumer products and their consequent
release to the marine environment poses a substantial threat to the marine ecosystem. The …

The increased usage of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO 2) in consumer products has
led to their prevalence in freshwater systems. Nanoplastics, a secondary pollutant, can …

The continuous release of nanoparticles and nanoplastics into the marine environment
necessitates the examination of their combined effects in marine organisms. Natural Organic …

Microalgae are key test organisms to assess the effects of chemicals on aquatic ecosystems.
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as a widely used metal oxide is considered a potential …

To compare aquatic organisms' responses to the toxicity of copper oxide (CuO)
nanoparticles (NPs) with those of CuO microparticles (MPs) and copper (Cu) ions, a global …

The green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata has been widely used in ecological risk
assessment, usually based on the impact of the toxicants in the alga growth. However, the …

The microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata was isolated from the Nitelva River (Norway) and
subsequently deposited in the collection of the Norwegian Institute of Water Research as …

Due to their remarkable properties, the applications of carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs)
such as graphene and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) are …

Standardised tests are often used to determine the ecotoxicity of chemicals and focus mainly
on one or a few generic endpoints (eg mortality, growth), but information on the sub-cellular …

Trace metal contaminations in natural waters, wetlands, and wastewaters pose serious
threats to aquatic ecosystems—mainly via targeting microalgae. In this work, we investigated …
