Toxicity Testing of Pristine and Aged Silver Nanoparticles in Real Wastewaters Using Bioluminescent Pseudomonas putida
Impact of aging on nanoparticle toxicity in real matrices is scarcely investigated due to a lack of suitable methodologies. Herein, the toxicity of pristine and aged silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to a bioluminescent Pseudomonas putida bioreporter was measured in spiked crude and final wastewater samples (CWs and FWs, respectively) collected from four wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Results...
متن کاملApplication of a Tetrahymena pyriformis bioassay system for the rapid detection of toxic substances in wastewaters
A bioassay technique based upon the respiratory response of Tetrahymena pyriformis to intoxication, which gives results within 10 min, was used to evaluate the quality of a number of effluents from three wastewater treatment plants in the PretoriaJohannesburg area. Toxic activity was detected in both treated and untreated wastewater effluent. The technique was shown to be sufficiently sensitive...
متن کاملA ferricyanide-mediated activated sludge bioassay for fast determination of the biochemical oxygen demand of wastewaters.
Activated sludge was successfully incorporated as the biocatalyst in the fast, ferricyanide-mediated biochemical oxygen demand (FM-BOD) bioassay. Sludge preparation procedures were optimized for three potential biocatalysts; aeration basin mixed liquor, aerobic digester sludge and return activated sludge. Following a 24h starving period, the return activated sludge and mixed liquor sludges repo...
متن کاملdevelopment of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles
a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...
Phytotoxicity of nanoparticles—problems with bioassay choosing and sample preparation
For a full estimation of the risk related with the presence of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in the environment, the use of the current ecotoxicological methods may prove insufficient. In the study presented herein, various methods of assessment of ecotoxicity were applied to compare the phytotoxicity of three ENPs: nano-ZnO, nano-TiO2 and nano-Ni. The toxicity was assayed both for aqueous so...
