Nanotechnology is develo** rapidly and, in the future, it is expected that increasingly more
products will contain some sort of nanomaterial. However, to date, little is known about the …

Environmental risk assessments of engineered nanoparticles require thorough
characterization of nanoparticles and their aggregates. Furthermore, quantitative analytical …

Few studies have examined capture and extraction methods for environmental DNA (eDNA)
to identify techniques optimal for detection and quantification. In this study, precipitation …

The chemical status of∼ 40 major and trace elements (TE) and organic carbon (OC) in
pristine boreal rivers draining the basaltic plateau of Central Siberia (Putorana) and …

The use of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) has exponentially increased in the past decade due
to their unique physical and chemical properties at nano-scales [1]. They are added to a …

It is well-established that sampling and sample processing can easily introduce
contamination into dissolved trace element samples if precautions are not taken. However …

Soil and water are the ultimate natural sink for the engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). One of
the most significant factors which control the mobility and stability of colloidal suspension in …

Microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) have become common water treatment
technologies for the removal of particles from natural waters. Many water utilities are now …

This article gives an overview of the different techniques used to identify, characterize, and
quantify engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). The state-of-the-art of the field is summarized …

This chapter aims to discuss the minimum set of key properties that describe nanoparticles
(NPs) in aquatic environments, and to review suitable analysis and characterization …
