Author:Thwala, Melusi; Mahaye, N; Schaefer, Lisa M; Musee, NDate:Apr 2014In this study, we employed bibliometric techniques to analyse engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) characterization data published in peer-reviewed aquatic nanoecotoxicity hosted in the International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON) and Web of ...Read more
Author:Thwala, Melusi; Klaine, S; Musee, NDate:Apr 2021Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are favoured antibacterial agents in nano-enabled products and can be released into water resources where they potentially elicit adverse effects. Herein, interactions of 10 and 40 nm AgNPs (10-AgNPs and 40-AgNPs) ...Read more
Author:Thwala, Melusi; Musee, N; Wepener, V; Oberholster, Paul JDate:01 Sep 2010This study is according to current literature the first to investigate the toxicity effects of ENMs on higher aquatic plants. Such information is vital for aquatic ecosystem protection information from the relatively less understood ENMs. The ...Read more
Author:Thwala, Melusi; Musee, N; Wepener, VDate:Sep 2012The authors present evidence of free radical activity and resultant anti-oxidative defence in Spirodela plants after exposure to 0.01-1000 mg/L of ZnO and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) over 96-h and 14-d. The quantification of reactive nitrogen and ...Read more
