Ecotoxicology of silver nanoparticles to the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans: From molecular mechanisms to population consequences.

<p>As the number of applications for engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) is increasing, so inevitably is the rate of their release into the environment. The novel properties (size, reactivity) that make their use and the development of applications appealing are also the basis for concerns about t...
