New paper in Scientific Reports: Phytoplankton disturbed by nanoparticles
Due to its antibacterial properties, nanosilver is used in a wide range of products from textiles to cosmetics. But nanosilver if present at high concentrations also disrupts the metabolism of algae that are essential for the aquatic food web dynamics and the production of terrestrial oxygen.

Le nanoargent est utilisé dans de nombreux produits, des textiles aux cosmétiques, pour ses vertus antibactériennes. Mais, à haute concentration, il perturbe également le métabolisme d’algues essentielles à la dynamique du réseau trophique aquatique et à la production de l’oxygène terrestre. |
