TL;DR: This research highlights the need to further investigate the ecotoxicity of nano-ZnO in the water environment and describes how small aggregates, Zn(dis), and large aggregates might jointly exert influence on the development of zebrafish embryos.

TL;DR: The radiotracer technique was employed to study the pulmonary deposition and the translocation to secondary target organs after ceria nanoparticles (nano-ceria) were intratracheally instilled into Wistar rats, suggesting that the effect of nanomaterial exposure, even at low concentration, should be assessed because of the potential lung and systemic cumulative toxicity of the nanommaterials.

TL;DR: The results suggested that the high-level REEs in some polluted water bodies would lead to an aquatic ecological crisis, and the assessment performed could be developed as a standardized test design for aquatic toxicological research.

TL;DR: The results suggested that surface charge density was closely involved in the cytotoxicity of ceria nanoparticles for E. coli, and contributes to a better understanding of the charge-associated biological effects of nanomaterials.
