There is a current debate on whether the toxicity of engineered ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) can be traced back to their nanoscale properties or rather to the simple fact of their relatively high solubility and consequent ...
The chronic toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl2 to Daphnia magna and the use of different methods to assess nanoparticle aggregation and dissolution.

Adam, Nathalie; Schmitt, Claudia; Galceran i Nogués, Josep; Companys Ferran, Encarnació; Vakourov, Alex; Wallace, Rachel; Knapen, Dries; Blust, Ronny (Taylor & Francis, 2014-11)

In this study, the effect of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl2 on growth, reproduction and accumulation of Daphnia magna was determined in a 21 day chronic toxicity test. Different techniques were used to distinguish between the ...
