Abstract
⺠ZnO nanoparticles and non-nano ZnO were equally toxic to Folsomia candida in soil. ⺠Pore water from soil spiked with ZnO nanoparticles showed saturation with zinc suggesting aggregation. ⺠Pore water based EC50 values for ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl2 were similar. ⺠ZnO nanoparticle toxicity in soil was most probably due to Zn dissolution from the nanoparticles.
