Resumen:
The state of the art in the toxicological effects of
nanomaterials (NMs) is analyzed with a main focus in the responses of
aquatic organisms. Several examples are included, examining the
toxicity of both organic and inorganic nanoparticles, particularly in
oxidative stress responses. Data from the literature is included in order
to compare nanomaterials and bulk material toxicity in daphnids.
Effects of nanomaterials on immune responses are also discussed.
Overall, literature reviewed indicates that some species are more
sensitive to NMs, and the complex interaction that NMs establish with
abiotic factors such as light (UV and visible) radiation.
