Acute toxicity 48 h of three Zn chemical forms was assessed as well including the following a ZnO nanoparticles NPs , b Zn from ZnO NP suspension after centrifugation supernatant and c ZnSO HO. Physical chemical and electronic microscopies were used to characterize spiked exposure media. Results showed that the dissolution of ZnO NPs was significant, with a complete dissolution at lowest test concentrations, but nano and micro aggregates were always present. Acute test evidenced a significant higher toxicity of Zn and ZnSO compared to ZnO NPs. The chronic exposure to ZnO NPs caused negative effects on the reproductive traits, i.e. brood duration, brood size and brood number at much lower concentrations >= 100 g/L . The appearance of ovigerous females was delayed at higher concentrations of ZnO NPs, while the time required for offspring release and the percentage of non viable eggs per female were significantly increased. ZnO NP subchronic exposure evidenced its ability to reduce T. fulvus individual reproductive fitness, suggesting that ZnO NPs use and release must be carefully monitored.
