Impact of Carbon Nano-Onions on Hydra vulgaris as a Model Organism for Nanoecotoxicology

The toxicological effects of pristine and chemically modified carbon nano-onions (CNOs) on the development of the freshwater polyp Hydra vulgaris were investigated in order to elucidate the ecotoxicological effects of CNOs. Chemical modifications of the CNOs were accomplished by surface functionali...
