In order to establish the level of threat from releasing nanomaterials into ecosystems, simplified food webs are an effective method to determine toxicity and bioassessment. A study is presented examining the behavior of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (<a class=\"reference-link webtrekk-track\" href=\"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/search?dc.title=AuNPs&amp;facet-content-type=ReferenceWorkEntry&amp;sortOrder=relevance\">AuNPs<\/a>) introduced into a model food chain consisting of a phytoplankton food (<em class=\"a-plus-plus\">Ankistrodesmus falcatus<\/em>) and a zooplankton grazer (<em class=\"a-plus-plus\">Daphnia magna<\/em>). UV\u2013Vis spectroscopy is used to monitor the behavior of <a class=\"reference-link webtrekk-track\" href=\"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/search?dc.title=AuNPs&amp;facet-content-type=ReferenceWorkEntry&amp;sortOrder=relevance\">AuNPs<\/a> in the presence of algae (<em class=\"a-plus-plus\">Ankistrodesmus<\/em>) and <em class=\"a-plus-plus\">Daphnia<\/em> over the span of 5\u00a0days.
