TL;DR: Algal growth test was developed to determine effects of pristine and oxidized CNT on the green algae Chlorella vulgaris and Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and growth inhibition was highly correlated with the shading of CNT and the agglomeration of algal cells, suggesting that the reduced algal growth might be caused mainly by indirect effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the toxicity of double walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) to three aquatic organisms, namely, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Daphnia pulex, and Poecilia reticulata under the influence of exposure media properties specifically the ionic strength and organic matter represented by humic acid.

TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of carbon nanotubes and cyclodextrin polymers were synthesized by first functionalising carbon nanutubes and then impregnating them with silver nanoparticles, and they were then polymerized with β cyclodesxtrin using hexamethylene diisocyanate as linker.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of nanosized silver and copper impregnated on polyurethanes for possible use in water disinfection was explored and the adsorption of organics was investigated.
