Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Gold Nanoparticles to Freshwater Green Algae
Original language description
Gold nanoparticles are currently being extensively prepared and studied due to their unique physicochemical properties. Gold nanoparticles are used in biomedical fields, optical engineering, catalysis and other fields of human interest. It is widely known that these materials may have adverse effects to various organisms including green algae. Nano-gold may be released from commercially available products and pose an environmental risk to freshwater organisms e.g. Desmodesmus subspicatus. The paper describes the study of acute aquatic toxicity of gold nanoparticles prepared via reduction with ascorbic acid to freshwater green algae. These nanoparticles were observed to be capable of interacting with freshwater green algae and thus have potential adverse effects to freshwater phytoplankton
