• The true effects of nanoparticles in their environment, CORDIS, March 2018 : “Most synthetic nanomaterials emitted into the environment will sooner or later arrive in our oceans and seas. The SOS-Nano project designed tests to predict their toxicity to the marine environment. The researchers used an ingenious natural in vivo water exposure system to test the effects of metal oxide nanoparticles: zinc oxide (ZnO) and manganese dioxide (MnO2). Oyster larvae suffered from a high level of toxicity occasioned by ZnO, in contrast, MnO2 NPs were not toxic in all exposure scenarios.”
