The role of chorion integrity on the bioaccumulation and toxicity of selenium nanoparticles in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes).

Selenium nanoparticles (nano-Se) have a wide range of biomedical and agricultural applications. However, there is little information on the potential toxicity of nano-Se once it enters the environment, particularly in fish. The first line of defense from contaminants that embryonic fish have is the chorion, but the degree to which the chorion protects the developing embryo is unknown.

Determining bad actors: A linear mixed effects model approach to elucidate behavioral toxicity of metal mixtures in drinking water.

Mixtures of chemical contaminants can pose a significant health risk to humans and wildlife, even at levels considered safe for each individual chemical. There is a critical need to develop statistical methods to evaluate the drivers of toxic effects in chemical mixtures (i.e.

Single and mixture toxicity of cadmium and copper to swim bladder in early life stages of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes).

Toxicity observed in aquatic ecosystems often cannot be explained by the action of a single pollutant. Likewise, evaluation standards formulated by a single effect cannot truly reflect the environmental quality requirements. The study of mixtures is needed to provide environmental relevance and knowledge of combined toxicity.

Impacts of ingested MWCNT-Embedded nanocomposites in Japanese medaka ().

Polymer nanocomposites combine the versatile, lightweight characteristics of polymers with the properties of nanomaterials. Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) is commonly used in polymer additive manufacturing due to its controllable transparency, high modulus, and mechanical properties. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) add tensile strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability.
