Increasing use of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles [Me (O) NPs] in products means
many will inevitably find their way into marine systems. Their likely fate here is sedimentation …

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly entering the environment with uncertain
consequences including potential ecological effects. Various research communities view …

Sediments represent the major sink for released silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in aquatic
environments. It is well known that the environmental behavior and toxicity of AgNPs in …

Recently, it was observed that there is an increasing application of nanoparticles (NPs) in

Pollution of the aquatic environment is an ever-growing problem, as waters are the ultimate
sink for the large number of xenobiotics from multiple sources. DNA damaging agents have …

The comet assay, also called single cell gel electrophoresis, is a sensitive, rapid and low-
cost technique for quantifying and analysing DNA damage and repair at the level of …

This review paper examined 529 papers reporting experimental nanoecotoxicological
original data. Only 126 papers referred to saltwater environments (water column and …

This study examined the effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) surface coating and size on
the organismal and molecular toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the nematode …

Silver nanoparticles are widely used in a range of products and processes for their
