Cu-nanoparticles ecotoxicity – Explored and explained? [PDF]

open access: yesChemosphere, 2015
The nano-form of copper (Cu-NPs) is already extensively used. In this paper the toxic effect of Cu in the worm Enchytraeus crypticus (Oligochaeta: Enchytraeidae) was assessed following exposure to (1) Cu-salt: freshly spiked soil with copper-nitrate, (2) Cu-NPs: freshly spiked soil with Cu nanoparticles (80nm), and (3) Cu-field: historically Cu ...
