1.Introduction
Quantumdots(QDs)holdconsiderablepromiseduringthelast
decadesinsolarcell,electronics,lifesciences,biomedicalimaging,
diagnostics,andphotovoltaicsapplicationsbecauseoftheirphysi-
calsize,brightfluorescence,narrowemissionspectra,broad
absorptioncoefficientsspectra,andhighphotostability(Chanand
Nie,1998;Jretal.,1998;Wangetal.,2004;Michaletetal.,
2005;BhattandTripathi,2011).QDscoresconsistofavarietyof
metalcomplexes,whichmayexertdetrimentalconsequencesnot
onlybytheirnanoscalepropertiesbutalsobychemicalinterac-
tionswithcellsatrelativelylowconcentrations.Torenderthem
biologicallycompatible/active,newlysynthesizedQDsaregiven
secondarycoatings,whichimproveswatersolubility,coredurabil-
ity,andsuspensioncharacteristics(Lovricetal.,2005;Medintz
etal.,2005;Wangetal.,2008).However,QDswithvariousorganiccoatingswouldbesubjecttomodificationordegradationunder
environmentalconditions,andhencewouldbecometoxic(Kim
etal.,2010).
Cadmiumselenium(CdSe)QDsaresemiconductornanocrystals
thatholdwiderangeofapplicationsandsubstantialproduction
volumes.Initialreportssuggesteddihydrolipoicacid-cappedCdSe
QDslackedtoxicitytowardmammalian(HeLa)andslimemold
(AX2)cells(Jaiswaletal.,2003).However,subsequentstudieson
surface-coatedCdSeQDsdemonstratedsometoxicityinvarious
celllines(Derfusetal.,2004;Kimetal.,2010).CdSeQDsare
increasinglyfoundinenvironmentalwatersamplesviawaste
streamsfromindustriesthatsynthesizeoruseCdSeandthrough
clinicalandresearchuses(Aitkenetal.,2006;Hardman,2006).
However,theimpactofCdSeQDsexposureonwaterenvironment
