Current understanding of nano-and microplastic movement, propagation and potential
effects on biota in freshwater environments is develo** rapidly. Still, there are significant …

The importance of the cladoceran Daphnia as a model organism for ecotoxicity testing has
been well-established since the 1980s. Daphnia have been increasingly used in …

In aquatic environments, a large number of ecological macromolecules (eg, natural organic
matter (NOM), extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and proteins) can adsorb onto the …

The aging of microplastics in the environment changes their physicochemical properties.
While this may affect their toxicity, comparative data on the effects of aged compared to …

Cell death is the process that regulates homeostasis and biochemical changes in healthy
cells. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) act as powerful cell death inducers through the …

Environmental conditions in aquatic ecosystems transform toxic chemicals over time,
influencing their bioavailability and toxicity. Using an environmentally relevant methodology …

The aquatic ecosystem is the final destination of most industrial residues and agrochemicals
resulting in organisms being exposed to a complex mixture of contaminants. Nanomaterials …

Long-term impacts of plastics exposure to organisms, especially to the smallest plastics
fraction, nanoplastics (NPs;≤ 1 μm), are yet to be fully understood. The data concerning …

Nanotechnologies have reached maturity and market penetration that require nano‐specific
changes in legislation and harmonization among legislation domains, such as the …

Aquatic testing of particulate materials (PMs), eg, nanomaterials (NMs) and microplastics
(MPs), poses inherent challenges potentially hindering the application of existing test …
