Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicity of Ag, CuO and ZnO nanoparticles to selected environmentally relevant test organisms and mammalian cells in vitro: a critical review

TL;DR: The toxic range of all the three metal-containing NPs to target- and non-target organisms overlaps, indicating that the leaching of biocidal NPs from consumer products should be addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecotoxicity of nanoparticles of CuO and ZnO in natural water.

TL;DR: The natural waters remarkably decreased the toxicity of nanoCuO (but not that of nanoZnO) to crustaceans depending mainly on the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) or solubilised ions as determined by specific metal-sensing bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicity of ZnO and CuO nanoparticles to ciliated protozoa Tetrahymena thermophila.

TL;DR: The toxic effects of nanoparticles (NPs) of ZnO and CuO to particle-ingesting model organism protozoa Tetrahymena thermophila were evaluated and T. thermophILA is recommended as a simple eukaryotic particle-inverting model organism for the toxicity screening of NPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of toxic action of Ag, ZnO and CuO nanoparticles to selected ecotoxicological test organisms and mammalian cells in vitro: A comparative review

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive and critical literature overview on Ag, ZnO and CuO NPs’ toxicity mechanisms on the basis of various environmentally relevant test species and mammalian cells in vitro and three major phenomena driving the toxicity of these nanoparticles are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Considerations of Environmentally Relevant Test Conditions for Improved Evaluation of Ecological Hazards of Engineered Nanomaterials

Patricia A. Holden, +43 more
TL;DR: Environmental realism in ENM hazard assessments should involve greater coordination among ENM quantitative analysts, exposure modelers, and ecotoxicologists, across government, industry, and academia.
