The Metal Oxidation State in Cu, CuO, and Cu<sub>2</sub>O Nanoparticles Plays a Key Role in Toxicity to Sea Urchin <i>Arbacia lixula</i>, <i>Paracentrotus lividus,</i> and <i>Sphaerechinus granularis</i> Embryos

The Metal Oxidation State in Cu, CuO, and Cu<sub>2</sub>O Nanoparticles Plays a Key Role in Toxicity to Sea Urchin <i>Arbacia lixula</i>, <i>Paracentrotus lividus,</i> and <i>Sphaerechinus granularis</i> Embryos

Copper-based nanoparticles (as Cu<sub>2</sub>O) are a key component in marine antifouling paints and, as coatings degrade, release nanoparticles that can affect a wide range of non-target organisms. This study investigates the impact of Cu<sub>2</sub>O nanoparticles on the ea...
