Figure 1.
Dynamic light scattering measurements of 50 mg/L metal oxide nanoparticles (MO NPs) suspended in low ionic strength medium (WATER) and high ionic strength medium (ZEBRAFISH EMBRYO MEDIUM). Error bars represent standard error of the mean (n = 4) of hydrodynamic diameter vertically and charge horizontally. Red circle highlights the MO NPs with very similar sizes and charges that created stable suspensions when prepared in water; however, only ZnO was the only MO NP to cause significant mortality and malformations in the five-day embryonic zebrafish bioassay with water as the exposure medium.
