Toxic Effects of Hydroxyl- and Amine-functionalized Silica Nanoparticles (SiO2 and NH2-SiO2 NPs) on Caenorhabditis elegans by Danielle E. Que, Wen-Che Hou, Micah Belle Marie Yap Ang, Chih-Chung Lin

“…L1 nematodes were exposed to exposure concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 2.5, and 5 mg mL−1 until the worms reached the L4 stage. The chronic lethality and lifespan assays revealed a significant decrease in survival rate and lifespan at 2.5 and 5 mg mL−1 for nematodes exposed to bare SiO2 NPs (89% and 88%; 22 days, p < 0.05 and 14 days, p < 0.05) and at 5 mg mL−1 for the NH2-SiO2 NPs-exposed group (86%; 20 days, p < 0.001). …”
