Toxic effects and bioaccumulation of nano-, micron- and ionic-Ag in the polychaete, <i>Nereis diversicolor</i>

There is increasing concern about the toxicities and potential risks, both still poorly understood, of silver nanoparticles for the aquatic environment after their eventual release via wastewater discharges. In this study, the toxicities of sediment associated nano (nm)-, micron (2–3.5 μm)- an
