Abstract：
:One target of development and application of TiO(2) nanoparticles (nano-TiO(2) ) is photochemical degradation of contaminants and photo-killing of microbes and fouling organisms. However, few ecotoxicological studies have focused on this aspect of nano-TiO(2) , specifically whether this photoreactivity might significantly increase hazard and risk of the materials in the natural environment. In the present study, we evaluated acute phototoxicity of nano-TiO(2) under simulated solar radiation (SSR) to two aquatic species-Daphnia magna and Japanese medaka, using 48-h and 96-h assays, respectively. A thorough characterization of the exposure system was performed by measuring particle agglomeration and TiO(2) concentration in suspension in a time-course manner. Sedimentation and loss of bulk concentration of nano-TiO(2) particles occurred at all concentrations above 2 mg/L and was more significant as concentration increased. Phototoxicity of nano-TiO(2) under SSR was enhanced by two to four orders of magnitude as compared to toxicity under ambient laboratory light, with a 48-h median lethal concentration (LC50) of 29.8 µg/L in D. magna and a 96-h LC50 of 2.2 mg/L in medaka. Our results also indicate that these effects are dependent on simultaneous exposure of the organisms to nanoparticles and SSR. This dramatic increase in toxicity of nano-TiO(2) at environmentally realistic levels of SSR indicates the need to incorporate this mode of action into risk assessment for nano-TiO(2) and other photoreactive nanomaterials.
