Behavioural response as a reliable measure of acute nanomaterial toxicity in zebrafish larvae exposed to a carbon-based versus a metal-based nanomaterial
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Production, use and disposal of products containing nanomaterials can lead to an increased presence of these particles in the environment and exposure to the organisms found there. It is therefore becoming increasingly ...
How toxic is a non-toxic nanomaterial: behaviour as an indicator of effect in Danio rerio exposed to nanogold
(Elsevier, 2019)
Gold nanoparticles are used as drug delivery vectors based on the assumption that they have low toxicity. Literature has, however, produced conflicting results over the last few years. As such, this study aimed to investigate ...
Bioaccumulation and metal-associated biomarker responses in a freshwater mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, following short-term platinum exposure
(Elsevier, 2019)
Due to the increasing presence of platinum (Pt) in the environment, the caveat arises to identify its toxic potential in species at risk of being exposed – especially those found in aquatic environments where pollutants ...
