Comparison of released toxicity from microsized vs nanosized copper oxide.
Notes: Due to the differences in the ratio of surface area to volume, toxicity levels are dependent on the size of copper oxide. Smaller structures such as (B) nanosized copper oxide compared to (A) microsized produce larger amounts of copper ions. The amount of toxicity is dependent on a number of copper ions released.
