Release of metal impurities from carbon nanomaterials influences aquatic toxicity.
Few studies have considered the environmental impacts of impurities and byproducts associated with low-efficiency nanomanufacturing processes. Here, we study the composition and aquatic toxicity of low-purity, as-produced fullerenes (C60) and metallofullerene waste solids, both of which were generated via arc-discharge synthesis. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectro...
متن کاملAcute toxicity of synthetic colloidal silver nanoparticles produced by laser ablation method to Eastern mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki
Considering the growing production, consumption of nanomaterials and their probable release into the aquatic ecosystems and study on the toxic effects of these materials are of critical importance to aquatic organisms. In this study, the acute toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) produced by a physical method (laser ablation) was examined on Gambusia fish. Acute toxicity tests were planned ...
متن کاملDeposition of carbon nanotubes by a marine suspension feeder revealed by chemical and isotopic tracers.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the few truly novel nanomaterials and are being incorporated into a wide range of products, which will lead to environmental release and potential ecological impacts. We examined the toxicity of CNTs to marine mussels and the effect of mussels on CNT fate and transport by exposing mussels to 1, 2, or 3mg CNTsl(-1) for four weeks and measuring mussel clearance ...
متن کاملRemoval of Pharmaceutical Compounds from Hospital Wastewaters Using Nanomaterials: A Review
Over the past few years, residual pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antipyretics drugs, hormones) have begun to be considered as emerging environmental pollutants due to their continuous input and persistence to aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. Therefore, the development of efficient, cost-effective, and stable methods and materials for the wastewaters treatment have g...
متن کاملComparison of molecular and histological changes in zebrafish gills exposed to metallic nanoparticles.
Research has demonstrated that metallic nanoparticles produce toxicity in aquatic organisms that is due largely to effects of particulates as opposed to release of dissolved ions. The present research examined the interplay of nanoparticle composition and dissolution on response of the zebrafish gill following exposure to toxic (nanocopper or nanosilver) or nontoxic (nano-TiO2) nanometals. Fema...
