Zooplankton community turnover in response to a novel TiO₂-coated nano-formulation of carbendazim and its constituents

Novel nanomaterial-based pesticide formulations are increasingly perceived as promising aids in the transition to more efficient agricultural production systems. The current understanding of potential unintended (eco)toxicological impacts of nano-formulated pesticides is scarce, in particular with regard to (non-target) aquatic organisms and...

Impacts of a novel controlled-release TiO₂-coated (nano-) formulation of carbendazim and its constituents on freshwater macroinvertebrate communities

Recently, the delivery of pesticides through novel controlled-release (nano-)formulations has been proposed intending to reduce (incidental) pesticide translocation to non-target sites. Concerns have however been raised with regards to the potentially enhanced toxicity of controlled-release (nano-)formulations to non-target organisms and...
