Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic TiO2 nanoparticle emission from exterior facades into the aquatic environment.
Ralf Kaegi,Andrea Ulrich,Brian Sinnet,Roger Vonbank,Adrian Wichser,S. Zuleeg,Hans Simmler,Samuel Brunner,Heinz Vonmont,Michael Burkhardt,Markus Boller +10 more
TL;DR: Analytical electron microscopy revealed that TiO(2) particles are detached from new and aged facade paints by natural weather conditions and are then transported by facade runoff and are discharged into natural, receiving waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of Metallic Silver Nanoparticles in a Pilot Wastewater Treatment Plant
Ralf Kaegi,Andreas Voegelin,Brian Sinnet,S. Zuleeg,Harald Hagendorfer,Michael Burkhardt,Hansruedi Siegrist +6 more
TL;DR: Results from batch experiments suggested that Ag-NP transformation to Ag(2)S occured in the nonaerated tank within less than 2 h, which must be considered in future risk assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Release of silver nanoparticles from outdoor facades
Ralf Kaegi,Brian Sinnet,S. Zuleeg,Harald Hagendorfer,Elisabeth Mueller,Roger Vonbank,Markus Boller,Michael Burkhardt +7 more
TL;DR: Microscopic results indicate that the Ag-NP are likely transformed to considerably less toxic forms such as Ag2S.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity-driven membrane filtration for water and wastewater treatment: A review
Wouter Pronk,An Ding,Eberhard Morgenroth,Nicolas Derlon,Peter Desmond,Michael Burkhardt,Bing Wu,Anthony G. Fane +7 more
TL;DR: The field is reviewed from the rather fundamental research on biofilm morphology and microbial community analysis to the impact of feedwater composition, process parameters and organic removal performance and the application potential is highlighted in comparison to conventional ultrafiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface runoff and transport of sulfonamide antibiotics and tracers on manured grassland.
TL;DR: It seemed that manure enhanced the runoff by sealing the soil surface, and the sulfonamide losses were 10 to 40 times larger on the manured plots, whereas they had fallen below the limit of quantification on the controls.
