Tolerance of Hydrobionts to CeO₂ Nanoparticles

Abstract:

Biological effects and ecotoxicity of NPs CeO₂ with particle size Δ₅₀ =16 nm and hydrobionts tolerance was measured in simulation based on test-reactions of a group of organisms representing major trophic levels of aquatic ecosystem. Biological activity of NPs CeO₂ was noted against bacterial biosensor Ekolum, Сhlorella v. B., Paramecium c., Daphnia m. S. and Danio r. Toxicity and hazard level of NPs CeO₂ were measured using biotesting and hydrobionts. Toxicity of NPs CeO₂ against luminescent bacteria Ekolum and Paramecium c. and Danio r. was not established (L(E)С₅₀ > 100 mg/l). In accordance with SGS and EC 93/67/EEC, NPs CeO₂ is considered highly toxic (acute toxicity Level 1). Biomarkers and NPs CeO₂ tolerant hydrobionts were determined. Range of tolerance of hydrobionts to NPs was established. The upper limit of tolerance was determined for certain hydrobionts by values of L(E)С₅₀: 0.009 mg/l (by volume of Chl a) for Сhlorella v. B. and 46.15 mg/l (by mobility) for Daphnia m. S.
