TL;DR: The toxicity of both AgNO₃ and AgNP differ significantly based on the test species: the authors found no differences in toxicity for algae, a small difference for zebrafish and a major difference inoxicity for Daphnia magna.

TL;DR: The fate of Ti was examined in an activated sludge plant serving over 200,000 people and revealed a decrease of 30 to 3.2 μg/L of Ti < 0.45 μm from influent to effluent and a calculated Ti presence of 305 mg/kg DW in wasted sludge.

TL;DR: Dissolution and particle size in the daphnia test media were found to be essential to derive conclusions on toxicity and fate and can possibly be considered critical for evaluating nanoparticles'oxicity and fate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with different nitrogen doping produced by aerosol chemical vapor deposition was performed, and the results showed that the presence of nitrogen in the precursor changed the nanotube morphology, i.e. nitrogen decreased the number of kinks incorporated into the carbon nanotsubes, decreased their length and diameter and increased the proportion of ‘bamboo’ shaped nanotsuits.

TL;DR: Electrochemical nanoimpacts provides information regarding individual nanoparticles in the solution phase and reveal the presence of small nanoparticles even in high ionic strength media and allow a more complete analysis.
