This review summarises and evaluates the present knowledge on the behaviour, the
biological effects and the routes of uptake of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to organisms, with …

Nanotechnology has widespread application in agricultural, environmental and industrial
sectors ranging from fabrication of molecular assemblies to microbial array chips. Despite …

Concerns about possible environmental implications of nano-and micro-plastics are
continuously raising. Hence, comprehensive understanding of their behaviour …

Although their ecological and socioeconomic importance has received recent attention,
mangrove ecosystems are one of the most threatened tropical environments. Besides direct …

Abstract Silver, ZnO and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used as biocides. There
is however increasing evidence of their threat to “non-target” organisms. In such a context …

The emerging literature on the ecotoxicity of nanoparticles and nanomaterials is
summarised, then the fundamental physico-chemistry that governs particle behaviour is …

Environmental Context. The fate and behaviour of trace pollutants are very strongly
modified, and usually dominated, by their physical and chemical interactions with naturally …

The acute ecotoxicity of different diameters of silica and polyethyleneimine polystyrene (PS-
PEI) nanoparticles (NPs) was assessed on a test battery of aquatic organisms representing …

Nanosilver has been used broadly in nanotechnology enhanced consumer products
because of its strong antimicrobial properties. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) released from …

Environmental context The health of aquatic organisms depends on the distribution of the
dissolved forms of chemical components (speciation) and their rates of interaction …
