Abstract
The bioaccumulation potential and toxic effects of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) to earthworms are poorly understood. Two studies were conducted following OECD TG 222 on Eisenia fetida to assess the effects of CdTe QDs with different coatings and soil ageing respectively. Earthworms were exposed to carboxylate (COOH), ammonium (NH4+), or polyethylene glycol (PEG) coated CdTe QDs, or a micron scale (bulk) CdTe material, at nominal...
