 Significant reduction in phenanthrene toxicity only seen in the presence of SWCNT  Based on measured concentrations of freely dissolved phenanthrene an increase in toxicity observed for all CNTs Phenanthrene adsorbed to CNTs contribute to toxicity – still partly bioavailable

Materials and Chemistry

CNT interaction with algae

 Contribution to toxicity by adsorbed phenanthrene might be due to the direct contact between CNTs and algae attached to CNT aggregates  A slight reduction in algal growth rate was seen in the presence

  • f MWCNT-COOH, probably due to shading by the dark

CNT effect on phenanthrene toxicity to Daphnia magna

 CNT SSA and surface chemistry appear important for their effect on Phen toxicity to D. magna.  Free phenanthrene does not account for the observed toxicity Indicates a large proportion of Phen adsorbed to CNTs is bioavailable to D. magna through ingestion

Conclusions

 C60 aggregation influenced by electrolyte type and conc  C60 aggregation influenced by NOM composition  CNTs readily adsorb phenanthrene but influenced by SSA and surface chemistry  CNTs not acutely toxic but directly interact with algae and D. magna  Adsorbed phenanthrene is bioavailable to both algae and D. magna
