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
Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata
Materials and Chemistry
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
