As part of the research program on the aquatic ecotoxicology of nanomaterials, a study was carried out using the invertebrate Hydra vulgaris in order to determine the influence that the shape of nanoparticles (sphere, cube and prism) have on the toxic potential of silver nanoparticles. The selection of nanoparticles of similar size and identical surface properties (polyvinylpyrrolidone) allowed to highlight the effects related to the geometrical shape. This study also contributes to the expansion of knowledge on the toxic effects of nanoparticles in relation to their geometry—a topic that has very little examination in aquatic ecotoxicology.

Chemicals Management Plan (CMP)
The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) is a Government of Canada initiative aimed at reducing the risks posed by chemicals to Canadians and their environment. A key element of the Chemicals Management Plan is the monitoring and surveillance of levels of harmful chemicals in Canadians and their environment. Monitoring and surveillance are essential to identify and track exposure to hazards in the environment and associated health implications. Monitoring and surveillance programs provide the basis for making sound and effective public health and environmental health policies and interventions, as well as measuring the efficacy of control measures.
In support of the Chemicals Management Plan, monitoring and surveillance initiatives were established to support Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists, in collaboration with external partners and researchers, to advance our knowledge. This initiative has allowed the Government of Canada to increase its commitment to a number of existing monitoring initiatives, as well as to support new efforts.
