The blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) is widely used as a bioindicator for monitoring of coastal
water pollution (mussel watch programs). Herein we provide a review of this study field with …

Control strategies and routine biomonitoring programs are commonly performed worldwide
using sentinel marine invertebrates, such as mussels of the genus Mytilus, for assessing the …

The rapid growth of nanomaterial applications has raised safety concerns for human health.
A number of studies have been conducted to assess the toxicokinetics, toxicology, dose …

Despite the wide application of quantum dots (QDs) in electronics, pharmacy and
nanomedicine, limited data is available on their environmental health risk. To advance our …

Nanoplastics (NPs;< 1 μm) have greater availability to marine organisms than microplastics
(1–5000 μm). Understanding NP uptake and depuration in marine organisms intended for …

Quantum dots are widely applicated into bioindustry and research owing to its superior
properties such as broad excitation spectra, narrow bandwidth emission spectra and high …

One of the key components for environmental risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials
(ENMs) is data on bioaccumulation potential. Accurately measuring bioaccumulation can be …

Bivalves are often employed for biomonitoring contaminants in marine environments;
however, in these large-scale programs, unavoidably, using multiple species presents a …

Quantification of the uptake and elimination of nanomaterials (NMs) by organisms is key in
assessing the environmental risks of NMs. For this, uptake models for conventional solutes …

Quantum dots (QDs), as a new type of nanomaterial, are widely used in the biomedical,
electronic, and energy fields. Due to their special physicochemical properties and …
