Abstract
⺠AuNPs were aggregated to a maximum distribution peak at 0.6 μm in seawater. ⺠Scrobicularia plana accumulated Au with higher accumulation for bigger NPs. ⺠Induction of MT, CAT, SOD and GST showed oxidative stress in clams. ⺠TBARS levels advocated no significant oxidative damage in clams. ⺠Gold is an inert metal, ecotoxic effects are probably due to the nanoparticle form.
