Description

The use of nanomaterials is now widespread and therefore it isexpected that they will eventually end up in the environment.  The environmental effects of nanomaterials are now widely investigated on a wide range of organisms and endpoints. Nevertheless there is still much lack of information on their effects on multi-species systems and ecosystem services. In this presentation the effects of nanomaterials in multi-species  systems is exhaustively analysed and reported and an assessment on the importance and suitability of ecosystem-level studies evaluated.
