abstract = {Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are promising nanomaterials in
modern nanotechnology and their use in many different
applications leads to an inevitable release into the aquatic
environment. In this study, we quantified trophic transfer
of weathered multi-walled carbon nanotubes (wMWCNT) from
green algae to primary consumer Daphnia magna in a
concentration of 100 μg L−1 using radioactive labeling of
the carbon backbone (14C-wMWCNT). Trophic transfer of wMWCNT
was compared to the uptake by daphnids exposed to
nanomaterials in the water phase without algae. Due to the
rather long observed CNT sedimentation times (DT) from the
water phase (DT50: 3.9 days (d), DT90: 12.8 d) wMWCNT
interact with aquatic organisms and associated to the green
algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Raphidocelis
subcapitata. After the exposition of algae, the nanotubes
accumulated to a maximum of 1.6 ± 0.4 μg 14C-wMWCNT mg−1
dry weight−1 (dw−1) and 0.7 ± 0.3 μg 14C-wMWCNT mg−1
dw−1 after 24 h and 48 h, respectively. To study trophic
transfer, R. subcapitata was loaded with 14C-wMWCNT and
subsequently fed to D. magna. A maximum body burden of 0.07
± 0.01 μg 14C-wMWCNT mg−1 dw−1 and 7.1 ± 1.5 μg
14C-wMWCNT mg−1 dw−1 for D. magna after trophic transfer
and waterborne exposure was measured, respectively,
indicating no CNT accumulation after short-term exposure via
trophic transfer. Additionally, the animals eliminated
nanomaterials from their guts, while feeding algae
facilitated their excretion. Further, accumulation of
14C-wMWCNT in a growing population of D. magna revealed a
maximum uptake of 0.7 ± 0.2 μg mg−1 dw−1. Therefore,
the calculated bioaccumulation factor (BAF) after 28 d of
6700 ± 2900 L kg−1 is above the limit that indicates a
chemical is bioaccumulative in the European Union Regulation
REACH. Although wMWCNT did not bioaccumulate in neonate D.
magna after trophic transfer, wMWCNT enriched in a 28 d
growing D. magna population regardless of daily feeding,
which increases the risk of CNT accumulation along the
aquatic food chain.},
