Quantitative prediction of mixture toxicity of AgNO₃ and ZnO nanoparticles on Daphnia magna

Once metal-based engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are released into the aquatic environment, they are expected to interact with other existing co-contaminants. A knowledge gap exists as to how the interaction of NPs with other co-contaminants occurs. Here we selected ZnO NPs among various NPs, with Ag ion existing as a contaminant in the aquatic environment by Ag NPs widely used. A novel modeling strategy was demonstrated enabling quantitative and...
