Cover Story: The release of nanomaterials in the environment is of concern and requires the investigation of their fate and effects. Silver nanoparticles are among the most common nanomaterials and are known to be subject to oxidation-dissolution reactions. To assess the ecotoxicological risk of silver nanoparticles, environmental regulators must understand their environmental fate and how they interact with living organisms. Stratified fresh and salt water mesocosms were used to mimic natural estuaries and to study the environmental fate of silver nanoparticles and their effects on two freshwater planktonic species, a green alga, and a planktonic crustacean. Silver remained mostly within the top freshwater layer and was not bioavailable to the green alga. On the other hand, silver was accumulated by the invertebrate. View this paper.
