Water availability for human and ecological uses depends on both water quantity and water quality. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing strategies for prioritizing regional-scale and watershed basin-scale studies of water availability across the nation. Previous USGS ranking processes for basin-scale studies incorporated primarily water quantity factors but are now considering additional water quality factors. This...

The widespread use of the nanomaterials increases the emission of nano-pollutants into the water. Carbon nanomaterials are particularly interesting. They are characterized by relatively stable structure, which makes them able to migrate and accumulate in the environment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the potential toxicity at the different trophic levels of four selected carbon nanostructures: graphene oxid...
