“…Transmission electron microscopy has been used to identify fullerene aggregates in soil extracts from a soil spiked with 154 mg/kg fullerenes [91] and to investigate absorption of CNTs and fullerenes in Daphnia [69,79], Lumbriculus variegatus [92], and cells [93,94]. Numerous challenges are associated with using TEM to identify CNPs in tissues, including the lack of contrast for CNPs given that they are composed of the same element as the tissue and the resin used to make the samples; the challenge of finding these particles given their extremely low concentrations Identifies nanoparticles in tissues without additional sample processing Not specific to particle type, uncommon equipment [100] Chemothermal oxidation at 3758C x x Chemothermal oxidation at 3758C…”

Abstract-The recent emergence of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) that are released into the environment and lead to exposure in organisms has accelerated the need to determine NP toxicity. Techniques for measuring the toxicity of NPs (nanotoxicology) in ecological receptors (nanoecotoxicology) are in their infancy, however, and establishing standardized ecotoxicity tests for NPs are presently limited by several factors. These factors include the extent of NP characterization necessary (or possible) before, during, and after toxicity tests such that toxic effects can be related to physicochemical characteristics of NPs; determining uptake and distribution of NPs within exposed organisms (does uptake occur or are effects exerted at organism surfaces?); and determining the appropriate types of controls to incorporate into ecotoxicity tests with NPs. In this review, the authors focus on the important elements of measuring the ecotoxicity of carbon NPs (CNPs) and make recommendations for ecotoxicology testing that should enable more rigorous interpretations of collected data and interlaboratory comparisons. This review is intended to serve as a next step toward developing standardized tests that can be incorporated into a regulatory framework for CNPs. Environ. Toxicol. Chem.

“…Dose-dependent effects were observed in both adult and juvenile growth after 4 weeks of exposure ( Table 5). Juveniles were more sensitive to C 60 than were adults (Van der Ploeg et al 2011). Earthworms (Eisenia veneta) were given food spiked with double-walled nanotubes (DWNTs) (outer diameter 10-30 nm) and C 60 fullerene (11 nm) at levels of viz., 0, 50, 100, 300 and 495 mg/kg (Scott-Fordsmand et al 2008).…”

Recent developments in nanotechnology have facilitated the synthesis of novel engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) that possess new and different physicochemical properties. These ENPs have been ex tensive ly used in various commercial sectors to achieve both social and economic benefits. However. the increasing production and consumption of ENPs by many different industries has raised concerns about their possible release and accumulation in the environment. Released EN Ps may either remain suspended in the atmosphere for several years or may accumulate and eventually be modified int o other substances. Settled nanoparticles can he easily washed away during ra in s. and therefore may easily enter the food chain via water and so il. Thus. EN Ps can contaminate air. water and soil and can subsequently pose adverse risks to the health of different organisms. Studies to date indicate that ENP transport to and within the ecosystem depend on their chemical and physical properties (viz .. size. shape and solubility) . Therefore. the EN Ps display variable behavior in the environment because of their individual properties th at affect their tendency for adsorption, absorption, diffusional and colloidal interaction. The transport of EN Ps also influences their fate and chemical transformation in ecosystems. The adsorption, absorption and colloidal interaction of ENPs affect their capacity to be degraded or transformed, whereas the tendency of ENPs to agglomerate fosters their sedimentation. How widely ENPs are transported and their environmental fate influence how tox ic they may become to environmental organisms. One barrier to fully understanding how EN Ps are transformed in the environment and how best to characterize their toxicity, is related to the nature of their ultrafine structure. Experiments with different animals, pl ants, and cell lines have revealed that ENPs induce toxicity via several cellular pathways that is linked to the size. shape. surface area, agglomeration state. and sur face charge of the ENP involved. Future research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which nanoparticles act to induce their tox ic effects aft er they reach various ecosystems. Moreover. work is needed to develop a holistic approach for better understanding the effects that ENPs produce at the cellular and genetic level.

“…Li et al (2010a), Scott-Fordsmand et al (2008) and van der Ploeg et al (2011) examined the response of earthworms to C 60 nanoparticles to determine their acute toxicity and found that earthworm cocoon production significantly decreased. van der Ploeg et al (2011) exposed both adult and juvenile earthworms to C 60 nanoparticles and found that while adults showed no significant change in growth and mortality, the juveniles exhibited a significant decrease in growth rate and a significant increase in mortality.…”
