Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental behavior and ecotoxicity of engineered nanoparticles to algae, plants, and fungi
Enrique Navarro,Enrique Navarro,Anders Baun,Renata Behra,Nanna B. Hartmann,Juliane Filser,Ai-Jun Miao,Antonietta Quigg,Peter H. Santschi,Laura Sigg +9 more
TL;DR: The surface properties of ENPs are of essential importance for their aggregation behavior, and thus for their mobility in aquatic and terrestrial systems and for their interactions with algae, plants and, fungi as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of silver nanoparticles to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Enrique Navarro,Flavio Piccapietra,Bettina Wagner,Fabio Marconi,Ralf Kaegi,Niksa Odzak,Laura Sigg,Renata Behra +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the interaction of these particles with algae influences the toxicity of AgNP, which is mediated by Ag+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioavailability of silver nanoparticles and ions: from a chemical and biochemical perspective
Renata Behra,Laura Sigg,Martin J. D. Clift,Fabian Herzog,Matteo Minghetti,Blair D Johnston,Alke Petri-Fink,Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser,Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser +8 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview—for biologists, chemists, toxicologists as well as physicists—regarding the production of silver NPs, its chemical and biochemical behaviours towards/within a multitude of relative and realistic biological environments and also how such interactions may be correlated across a plethora of different biological organisms.

Practical considerations for conducting ecotoxicity test methods with manufactured nanomaterials: what have we learnt so far?
Richard D. Handy,Nico W. van den Brink,Mark A. Chappell,Martin Mühling,Renata Behra,Maria Dusinska,Maria Dusinska,Peter Simpson,Jukka Ahtiainen,Awadhesh N. Jha,Jennifer M. Seiter,Anthony J. Bednar,Alan J. Kennedy,Teresa F. Fernandes,Michael Riediker +14 more
TL;DR: Most protocols will require some modifications and recommendations are made to aid the researcher at the bench with manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs), and to recommend modifications to existing experimental methods and OECD protocols.
