The ever increasing production and use of nano-enabled commercial products release the
massive amount of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in the environment. An increasing …

In the face of the growing global water crisis, membrane technology is a promising means of
purifying water and wastewater. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used to …

Nanoparticles exist far from the equilibrium state due to their high surface energy.
Nanoparticles are therefore extremely unstable and easily change themselves or react with …

The production and use of nanoparticles leads to the emission of manufactured or
engineered nanoparticles into the environment. Those particles undergo many possible …

Increased application of engineered nano particles (ENPs) in production of various
appliances and consumer items is increasing their presence in the natural environment …

The increased flux of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in consumer and commercial
products has become a viable threat, particularly if their release affects the environment. The …

The application of nanoparticles has raised concern over the safety of these materials to
human health and the ecosystem. After release into an aquatic environment, nanoparticles …

Exposure modeling of engineered nanomaterials requires input parameters such as
sedimentation rates and heteroaggregation rates. Here, we estimate these rates using …

The functionalization of nanoparticles has primarily been used as a means to impart stability
in nanoparticle suspensions. In most cases even the most advanced nanomaterials lose …

In this study, we comprehensively evaluate chloride-and ionic-strength-mediated changes in
the physical morphology, dissolution, and bacterial toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) …
