Over the past decades, comparative physiology and biochemistry approaches have played
a significant role in understanding the complexity of metal bioaccumulation in aquatic …

Chemical pollution is one of the major threats to global freshwater biodiversity and will be
exacerbated through changes in temperature and rainfall patterns, acid–base chemistry …

We have developed a rapid and homogeneous method for the highly selective detection of
Hg2+ and Ag+ using Tween 20-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Citrate ions were …

In pristine natural waters, silver (Ag) occurs at low ng L− 1 levels, rising to 1000-fold at highly
contaminated sites. The free ion Ag+ appears to be the sole cause of acute toxicity in …

Here we report the peroxidase-like Au@ Pt nanozyme as an integrated nanosensor for
selective detection of silver ions (Ag+), where the nanozyme plays the roles as both the …

In the present study, the syntheses of crystalline silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs) has
been demonstrated in a green and environmentally friendly approach using citrus fruit …

In freshwater settings the toxicity of the trace metal nickel (Ni) is relatively well understood.
However, until recently, there was little knowledge regarding Ni toxicity in waters of higher …

The mercury (Hg) poisoning of Minamata Bay of Japan widely activated a global attention to
Hg toxicity and its potential consequences to the aquatic ecosystem and human health. This …

With the increasing use of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), their entrance into aquatic
ecosystems is inevitable. Thus, the present study simulated the potential fate, toxicity, and …

Because of their bactericidal effects, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have promising industrial
development but could lead to potential ecological risks. The aim of this study was to …
