Does the aging of nanoparticles modulate the ecotoxicity of metals?
In this blog post, Rajdeep Roy and his colleagues address the impacts of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO2)-aging on the ecotoxicity of metals. This is done by employing acute waterborne and multigenerational dietary exposures.
