Current Research & Key Publications
We are investigating the impacts of inorganic and organic nanoparticles on aquatic organisms (aquatic fungi, bacteria and invertebrates) that play key roles in aquatic detritus foodwebs to understand the community to cellular level response. Also we are determining the characterization of aquous suspended nanoparticles and interaction of natural organic matter with the nanoparticle toxicity. |
