Determination of the acute toxic effect of ZnO-TiO2 nanoparticles in brine shrimp (Artemia salina)

Abstract

This study aims to investigate aquatic stability and toxic effects of ZnO-TiO2 NPs (45.2 nm) on Artemia salina. According to probit analyzes LC50 values for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours were calculated as 5.111, 0.296, 0.143 and 0.119 mg/L, respectively. According to the results of Ti amount in ZnO-TiO2 were compared in terms of concentrations by multiple comparison test, significantly differences were observed among 0.1-0.01 mg/L 0.1-0.5 g/l and 0.1-1 mg/L (P<0.01). According to the statistics in terms of the dependent variables, a highly significant difference of Ti nanoparticle amount was found in terms of concentration elimination and accumulation (P<0.01).
