Article Synopsis
- Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are increasingly used in various applications, leading to their potential release into aquatic environments, prompting this study on their trophic transfer from algae to the water flea Daphnia magna.
- After exposing green algae to weathered multi-walled carbon nanotubes (wMWCNT), the study found limited accumulation in D. magna when fed the algae, but notable uptake from the water phase, indicating different pathways of exposure.
- The findings suggest that while wMWCNT did not significantly accumulate in young D. magna through direct feeding, they can still enrich in older populations over time, raising concerns about their long-term ecological impacts.
