Impact of engineered zinc oxide nanoparticles on the individual performance of Mytilus galloprovincialis.

The increased use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in consumer products raises the concern of environmental release and subsequent impacts in natural communities. We tested for physiological and demographic impacts of ZnO, a prevalent metal oxide ENP, on the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. We ex...
