Environmental processes and toxicity of metallic nanoparticles in aquatic systems as affected by natural organic matter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the emerging efforts in understanding interactions between metallic nanoparticles and NOM and concluded that NOM can alter MNP toxicity through changing suspension stabilization of MNP, bioavailability of metal ions dissolved from MNPs, electrostatic interactions and steric repulsion between MNPs and organisms, and MNP-induced reactive oxygen species generation.
