Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Toxicity of Nanoparticulate ZnO, Bulk ZnO, and ZnCl2 to a Freshwater Microalga (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata): The Importance of Particle Solubility
Natasha M. Franklin,Nicola J. Rogers,Simon C. Apte,Graeme E. Batley,Gerald E. Gadd,Philip S. Casey +5 more
TL;DR: Care needs to be taken in toxicity testing in ascribing toxicity to nanoparticles per se when the effects may be related, at least in part, to simple solubility, as this study has shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformations of nanomaterials in the environment.
TL;DR: The nature and extent of the transformations that occur in nanomaterials must be understood before significant progress can be made toward understanding the environmental risks posed by these materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biotic ligand model : a historical overview

TL;DR: This journal issue includes papers that describe recent advances with regard to the development of the biotic ligand model and represents a distinct milestone in the ongoing evolution of the BLM approach and, more generally, of approaches to performing ecological assessments for metals in aquatic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Short-Term Resuspension Events on Trace Metal Speciation in Polluted Anoxic Sediments
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of short-term resuspension of a contaminated anoxic estuarine sediment on solid-phase metal speciation have been studied and preliminary experiments investigated the oxidation rates of model metal sulfide phases to provide mechanistic information for interpreting the observations on the natural sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of initial cell density on the bioavailability and toxicity of copper in microalgal bioassays
TL;DR: Findings suggest that standard static laboratory bioassays using 104 to 105 algal cells/ml may seriously underestimate metal toxicity in natural waters.
