Read moreTested on fathead minnows - an organism often used to test the effects of toxicity on aquatic life - nanosilver suspended in solution proved toxic and even lethal to the minnows. When the nanosilver was allowed to settle, the solution became several times less toxic but still caused malformations in the minnows.
