Results of chronic exposure test with H. azteca fed F/pF enriched with AgNP or AuNPs. Measured Ag and Au mean content in generated F/pF (mg/L) ± SD from C. fluminea (n = 4) as well as the respective total metal body burden of amphipods (n = 5, replicates consisting of 11 to 19 amphipods) after 21 days of dietary exposure with AgNP or AuNP containing F/pF (mg/kg) ± SD. F/pFC-Ag: Ag content in F/pF of control group, F/pFC-Au: Au content in F/pF of control group. Mean length of the amphipods in mm, mean individual fresh weight of the amphipods in mg and mean mortality rate in %, each ± SD and n = 5 replicates (consisting of 11 to 19 amphipods). *p < 0.05
