Metal nanoparticles are showing promise in tackling different problems in different domains of environment. How they can be used in aquatic ecosystems? What are different likely interactions? What may the possible toxic effects on different ecosystem components (planktons, bacteria, macrophytes and fish)? How can we track the ecotoxicological linkages? How could we manage metal nanoparticles for positive (beneficial) uses and avert the adverse/untoward consequences?
RG friends and researchers you all are welcome to participate and help to promote a sustained brainstorming on pros and cons of apllyting metal nanoparticles in aquatic systems like, ponds, lakes, rivers, etc.
The best review article on "Nanoparticles in aquatic systems". I hope this review addresses most of your questions. Here is the link to access the paper.

There are numerous types of nanoparticles being released into the environment and their potential impacts is one of our major concerns. This is because nanoparticles may transfer along the food chain and cause potential hazards to living organisms. Presently, my research is related to the behavior of ZnO nanoparticles in natural waters and effects on zebra fish. I welcome any comments and suggestions on the study of nanoparticles in natural waters.
Thanks.
