Ag Nanoparticles (Ag NM300K) in the Terrestrial Environment: Effects at Population and Cellular Level in Folsomia candida (Collembola)
The effects of nanomaterials have been primarily assessed based on standard ecotoxicity guidelines. However, by adapting alternative measures the information gained could be enhanced considerably, e.g., studies should focus on more mechanistic approaches. Here, the environmental risk posed by the presence of silver nanoparticles (Ag NM300K) in soil was investigated, anchoring population and cel...
متن کاملInstability of Ag nanoparticles in SiO2 at ambient conditions
The room temperature stability of nanometer-sized silver clusters in silica matrices has been investigated by following the temporal evolution of their surface plasmon absorption. Ag clusters in SiO2 were prepared by either annealing silica samples doped with atomic silver or by co-deposition of pre-formed clusters of defined size. Clusters were found to be unstable at ambient conditions on a t...
متن کاملAssessment of movement patterns in Folsomia candida (Hexapoda: Collembola) in the presence of food
24 25 We showed that Folsomia candida (a blind soil-dwelling Collembola) was able to shift from 26 non-directional (random or search strategy) to directional (target-oriented) movements at short 27 distance of food. We measured departure from linearity and access (or not) to food by the springtail 28 according to distance to the target position. Video-records and image analysis were used to obt...
متن کاملEffect of silver nanoparticles on the standard soil arthropod Folsomia candida (Collembola) and the eukaryote model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae
BACKGROUND Because of their antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used and have come into contact with the environment. In the present work, an effect of AgNPs on a standard soil organism, Folsomia candida, was studied (in comparison to silver nitrate) focusing on molecular and cellular alterations as ecotoxicological endpoints. RESULTS At the molecular level...
متن کاملNanoscale phase separation in coated Ag nanoparticles.
In this paper we report the structural investigation of cysteine and glutathione capped Ag nanoparticles (NPs) by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. The combined use of these probes allowed us to observe the presence of two crystal structures in the coated AgNPs, i.e., the cubic and the hexagonal cr...
