Biological surface coating and molting inhibition as mechanisms of TiO2 nanoparticle toxicity in Daphnia magna.

Biological surface coating and molting inhibition as mechanisms of TiO2 nanoparticle toxicity in Daphnia magna.

The production and use of nanoparticles (NP) has steadily increased within the last decade; however, knowledge about risks of NP to human health and ecosystems is still scarce. Common knowledge concerning NP effects on freshwater organisms is largely limited to standard short-term (≤48 h) toxicity t...
