Transformations of nanomaterials in the environment.
TLDR
The nature and extent of the transformations that occur in nanomaterials must be understood before significant progress can be made toward understanding the environmental risks posed by these materials.Abstract:
Increasing use of engineered nanomaterials with novel properties relative to their bulk counterparts has generated a need to define their behaviors and impacts in the environment. The high surface ...read more

Biomolecular coronas provide the biological identity of nanosized materials
TL;DR: The basic concept of the nanoparticle corona is reviewed and its structure and composition is highlighted, and how the properties of the corona may be linked to its biological impacts are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Aquatic Environments: Aggregation, Deposition, and Enhanced Contaminant Transport
TL;DR: This Critical Review provides a critical review of the current knowledge vis-à-vis nanoplastic (NP) and microplastic (MP) aggregation, deposition, and contaminant cotransport in the environment and highlights key knowledge gaps that need to be addressed.

Global life cycle releases of engineered nanomaterials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined market information and material flow modeling to produce the first global assessment of the likely ENM emissions to the environment and landfills, estimating that 63-91% of over 260,000-309,000 metric tons of global ENM production in 2010 ended up in landfill, with the balance released into soils, water bodies, and atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicted Releases of Engineered Nanomaterials: From Global to Regional to Local
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a life cycle approach to estimate ENM material flow estimates at the local level using a life-cycle approach, global ENM production and application data were used to estimate releases at global, regional, national, and local levels.

Review on nano zerovalent iron (nZVI): From synthesis to environmental applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the opportunities and risks arising from the use of nano zerovalent iron (nZVI) from its synthesis to environmental application, and identify problems that may occur a result of changes in the physicochemical properties of nZVI due to their modification (e.g. other metal doping, coating the surface, or deposition on the support).

Probing the Cytotoxicity Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots.
TL;DR: This work found that CdSe-core QDs were indeed acutely toxic under certain conditions and modulated by processing parameters during synthesis, exposure to ultraviolet light, and surface coatings, and suggests that cytotoxicity correlates with the liberation of free Cd2+ ions due to deterioration of the Cd Se lattice.
Book
Organic geochemistry of natural waters
TL;DR: The first part of the book as mentioned in this paper is a general overview of the amount and general nature of dissolved organic carbon in natural waters, and the second part is a summary of the data that has accumulated from many disciplines over the last decade.

TL;DR: The rates of protein association and dissociation are determined using surface plasmon resonance technology with nanoparticles that are thiol-linked to gold, and through size exclusion chromatography of protein–nanoparticle mixtures, and this method is developed into a systematic methodology to isolate nanoparticle-associated proteins.
