Abstract
Aquatic toxicity studies with two different sizes of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles were conducted on Rainbow trout fish Oncorhynchus mykiss, water flea Daphnia magna, and green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata as model organisms. Author (1) along with co-authors (2,3) conducted this research work at IIBAT as a part of PhD. The results of these studies indicated that MWCNTs are low concern whereas, silver nanoparticles are of high concern to the aquatic species tested (Rainbow trout fish, Water flea and Green alga). The present aquatic studies demonstrated the hazard potential of silver nanoparticles to the aquatic species, following acute exposure and calls for surveillance on the impact of the wide release of nanomaterials into the environment.
