Characterisation and in vivo ecotoxicity evaluation of double-wall carbon nanotubes in larvae of the amphibian Xenopus laevis
F Mouchet, P Landois, E Sarremejean, G Bernard… - Aquatic toxicology, 2008 - Elsevier
Because of their outstanding properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are being assessed for
inclusion in many manufactured products. Due to their massive production and growing
number of potential applications, the impact of CNTs on the environment must be taken into
consideration. The present investigation evaluates the ecotoxicological potential of double-
walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) in the amphibian larvae Xenopus laevis at a large range
of concentrations in water (from 10 to 500mgL− 1). Acute toxicity and genotoxicity were …
