Abstract
The development and production of nanomaterials (NMs) (< 100nm) are fast-growing worldwide. However, environmental studies in the Nanotoxicology field are not following the rapid increase of these NMs, thus the effects of NMs to the environment, especially on aquatic biota, are often unknown, being the environmental legislation about NMs very scarce. The NMs of copper tungstate (CuWO4) an…

Abstract
The nanotechnology is considered a technological revolution in many areas of the society, but there are concerns regarding the destination of the compounds at the end of their life cycle. The semiconductors ZnWO4 e CuWO4 have potential to decontaminate persistent organic substances of the water, and these compounds may end up in aquatic ecosystems. Studies regarding the toxicity of these …
