Abstract:
... Freshwater mussels are used as an effective bioindicator of metal pollution. There is no data on the accumulation of any metal-oxide nanoparticles (NPs) in tissues of Unio tigridis. Thus, this study was undertaken to investigate accumulation of Al₂O₃, CuO, and TiO₂ NPs following exposure to different concentrations (0, 1, 3, and 9 mg/L) of NPs for 14 days. Metal concentrations in tissues were dete ...
