Engineered nanomaterials: from their properties and applications, to their toxi...
De Marchi, Lucia; Coppola, Francesca; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.; Pretti, Carlo; Monserrat, José; Torre, Camilla Della; Freitas, RosaAs a consequence of their unique characteristics, the use of Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs) is rapidly increasing in industrial, agricultural products, as well as in environmental technology. However, this fast expansion and use make likely their release into the environment with particular concerns for the aquatic ecosystems, which tend to be the ultimate sink for this type of contaminants. Considering the se...
The effects of co-exposure of graphene oxide and copper under different pH cond...
Britto, Roberta Socoowski; Nascimento, Jefferson Patrício; Serode, Tiago; Santos, Adelina P.; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M; Figueira, EtelvinaCarbon nanomaterials (CNM), such as graphene oxide (GO), have been the focus of study in several areas of science mostly due to their physical-chemical properties. However, data concerning the potential toxic effects of these CNM in bivalves are still scarce. When present in the aquatic systems, the combination with other contaminants, as well as pH environmental variations, can influence the behavior of these ...
