Parallel session 1B: Ecotoxicology, effects on ecosystem services & ecological risks
Fish cells maintained in vitro constitute an interesting tool to obtain information about the toxic action of a wide variety of substances, including nanomaterials, facilitating their prioritization for further testing or even being used directly in risk assessment. The aim of the present study was to assess the toxicity of a broad array of ENM (CeO2, multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), SiO2,...

Parallel session 1B: Ecotoxicology, effects on ecosystem services & ecological risks
In this study, copper-based nanoparticle (NP) or compounds are investigated for their potential harm to the environment, using cilantro as the model species. Cilantro plants were exposed to Cu(OH)2, nanosized copper (nCu), microsized copper (uCu), nanosized copper oxide (nCuO), microsized copper oxide (uCuO), and CuCl2 at 20 and 80 mg/kg soil. After 30 days exposure, plant size, Cu...

Parallel session 1B: Ecotoxicology, effects on ecosystem services & ecological risks
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...
