Exposure media and nanoparticle size influence on the fate, bioaccumulation, and toxicity of silver nanoparticles to higher plant Salvinia minima

Thwala, Melusi; Klaine, Stephen; Musee, Ndeke (MDPI, 2021-04-16)

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are favoured antibacterial agents in nano-enabled products and can be released into water resources where they potentially elicit adverse effects. Herein, interactions of 10 and 40 nm AgNPs ...
Interactions of coated-gold engineered nanoparticles with aquatic higher plant Salvinia minima baker

Mahaye, Ntombikayise; Thwala, Melusi; Musee, Ndeke (MDPI, 2021-11-24)

The study investigated the interactions of coated-gold engineered nanoparticles (nAu) with the aquatic higher plant Salvinia minima Baker in 2,7, and 14 d. Herein, the nAu concentration of 1000 g/L was used; as in lower ...
Interactions of metal-based engineered nanoparticles with aquatic higher plants : a review of the state of current knowledge

Thwala, Melusi; Klaine, Stephen J.; Musee, Ndeke (Wiley, 2016-07)

The rising potential for the release of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) into aquatic environments requires evaluation of risks to protect ecological health. The present review examines knowledge pertaining to the interactions ...
