Determination of oxidative stress responses caused by aluminum oxide (γ-AlO and α-AlO) nanoparticles in Gammarus pulex.

The rapid growth in the use of aluminum oxide nanoparticles (AlO NPs) in various fields such as medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics industries and engineering, and the fact that these NPs and their wastes mix with the aquatic environment and damage the aquatic ecosystem, affect the organisms in the water, enter the food chain and reach humans is a major problem is cause for concern. The aim of this study is to investigate the oxidative stress caused by two separate forms of aluminum oxide, γ-AlO and α-AlO, in Gammarus pulex, which is a good indicator species, with biochemical parameters. For this purpose, G.
