Internalization of Consumed Nanoparticles by a Model Invertebrate Organism
Figure 4
Feeding rate (mg of consumed leaves/animal weight, calculated daily) of animals fed with control, untreated leaves, and leaves dosed with 100 or 1000 μg/g nano-TiO2 for 3, 7, or 14 days. There are no statistically significant differences within exposure groups treated for different time periods. There are statistical differences between animals exposed to food dosed with 100 μg/g nano-TiO2 for 3 and 7 days and again between 3 and 14 days (). Symbols on the box plot represent minimum and maximum data values (whiskers), mean value (□), 75th percentile (upper edge of box), 25th percentile (lower edge of box), median (line in box), and max and min value (-).
