Genotoxic Impacts on Aquatic Green Algae-fed Daphnia Magna Organisms Subjected to Silver Nano clusters

Abstract

Marisa Pepperberg*

The increasing utilization of nanomaterials in various industries has raised concerns about their potential environmental impacts. Among these nanomaterials, Silver Nanoclusters (AgNCs) have gained significant attention due to their unique properties and wide applications. This article explores the genotoxic impacts of AgNCs on Daphnia magna, a crucial organism in aquatic ecosystems, especially when exposed to AgNCs through their diet of green algae. Through an extensive review of existing literature and research findings, we delve into the mechanisms underlying genotoxicity in Daphnia magna the implications for aquatic ecosystems and potential mitigation strategies to address these concerns.
