Abstract
Abstract The toxicity, bioaccumulation and biomagnification of material containing silver nanoparticles were studied in a model food chain. Two forms of silver namely, Ag+ and nano Ag° particles (AgNPs) were examined for their toxicity effects on Chlorella sp., Moina macrocopa, Barbonymus gonionotus and Chironomus spp. The results showed that the toxicity order on the four organisms was free Ag+> AgNPs. For toxicity of Ag+, the EC5° (effective concentration) was 0.39±0.32 mg L-1 for Chlorella sp. and the LC5° (lethal concentration) of M. macrocopa, B. gonionotus and Chironomus spp. were 0.026±0.43 mg L-1, 0.057±1.15 mg L-1, and 0.042±0.19 mg L-1, respectively. For toxicity, the EC5° of AgNPs was 0.89±0.68 mg L-1 for Chlorella sp. and the LC5° of M. macrocopa, B. gonionotusand Chironomus spp. were 1.11±0.86 mg L-1, 1.76±0.19 mg L-1, and 1.08±1.21 mg L-1, respectively. The results of the bioaccumulation study indicated that the highest bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of Ag+ was 101.84 L g-1 in Chlorella sp. and the lowest BAF of AgNPs was 1.89 L g-1 in B. gonionotus. The food chain transfer of AgNPs occurred only from Chlorella sp. to M. macrocopa and there was no evidence of biomagnification from food sources to consumers in a simple tropical food chain.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability ( CS&B) is a scholarly, peer-reviewed forum for insights on the chemical aspects of occurrence, distribution, transport, transformation, transfer, fate, and effects of substances in the environment and biota, and their impacts on the uptake of the substances by living organisms. Substances of interests include both beneficial and toxic ones, especially nutrients, heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, as well as pharmaceuticals and personal-care products as pollutants. It is the aim of this Journal to develop an international community of experienced colleagues to promote the research, discussion, review, and spread of information on chemical speciation and bioavailability, which is a topic of interest to researchers in many disciplines, including environmental, chemical, biological, food, medical, toxicology, and health sciences.
Key themes in the scope of the Journal include, but are not limited to, the following “6Ms”:
Methods for speciation analysis and the evaluation of bioavailability, especially the development, validation, and application of novel methods and techniques.
Media that sustain the processes of release, distribution, transformation, and transfer of chemical speciation; of particular interest are emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and personal-care products.
Mobility of substance species in environment and biota, either spatially or temporally.
Matters that influence the chemical speciation and bioavailability, mainly environmentally relevant conditions.
Mechanisms that govern the transport, transformation, transfer, and fate of chemical speciation in the environment, and the biouptake of substances.
Models for the simulation of chemical speciation and bioavailability, and for the prediction of toxicity.
Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability is a fully open access journal. This means all submitted articles will, if accepted, be available for anyone to read, anywhere, at any time. immediately on publication. There are no charges for submission to this journal.
