Potential toxic effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes on land snail Helix aspersa: use of oxidative stress as a reliable biomarker for ecotoxicology assessment

Oxidative stress represents a main regularly informed mechanism of nanoparticles (NPs) toxicity. The present work was designed to evaluate the oxidative stress in haemolymph and digestive gland of snail Helix aspersa after exposure to different dermal doses: 10.8 and 2.17 µg snail-1 for titanium di...

The present work was designed to evaluate the oxidative stress in haemolymph and digestive gland of snail Helix aspersa after exposure to different dermal doses: 10.8 and 2.17 µg snail-1 for titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs), and 8.0 and 1.6 µg snail-1 for Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) during 48 h.
