Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNanoplastics in the Environment and the Effects on the ZebrafishJimmy De León, María del C. Cotto, Francisco MárquezPlastic is one of the most used materials in the world, adopted in almost all activities of human life, but due to the high persistence and durability in the environment, it is causing pollution problems. Through different processes, small particles of polymers are emerging and the effects on the health are still unknown. The Danio rerio (zebrafish) is a model … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 8 Oct 2019 · 7,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsToxicology of Nanomaterials on ZebrafishJimmy De León, María del C. Cotto, Francisco MárquezIncreases in the use and the progressive manufacture of new Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs) lead to inquire about their impact on the environment. Due to the small size, high reactivity inside organisms and the unusual physicochemical properties of the ENMs, the predictions of toxicity are very complex. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been granted as a practical alternative to study the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 May 2019 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
