Assessing cadmium-based quantum dots effect on the gonads of the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis

This study assesses the sex-specific effects induced by CdTe QDs, on the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in comparison to its dissolved counterpart. A 14 days exposure to CdTe QDs and dissolved Cd was conducted (10 mu g Cd L-1), analysing Cd accumulation, oxidative stress, biotransformation,...
