? 2021Aquatic sediments are predicted to be an important sink for released silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Knowing the long-term effects of AgNPs on benthic deposit-feeders is therefore an important step towards assessing their potential environmental risks. The aim of this study was to examine the effects on survival, growth and reproduction of the deposit-feeding polychaete Capitella teleta exposed for ten weeks to sediment-associated un-coated AgNPs or silver nitrate (AgNO3). C. teleta exhibited tolerance towards exposure to both AgNPs and AgNO3. Significant effects were observed for percentage of pairs that reproduced as well as worm growth after eight weeks, but the effects did not show a clear concentration- or Ag type-dependent pattern. Further investigations of long-term effects of un-coated AgNPs in additional sediment-dwelling organisms are needed and should involve comparisons to coated AgNPs.
