Abstract Increasing manufacture and use of engineered nanoparticles is leading to a greater probability for release into the environment exposure organisms. In particular, zinc oxide (ZnO) toxic, although it unclear whether this toxicity due nanoparticles, dissolution Zn 2+ , or some combination thereof. The goal study was determine relative solubilities both commercially available in‐house synthesized ZnO in matrices used environmental fate transport biological studies. Dissolution observed...
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are present in many waters, have detrimental impacts on human health the environment. Reverse osmosis (RO) nanofiltration (NF) shown excellent PFAS separation performance water treatment; however, these membrane systems do not destroy but produce concentrated residual streams that need to be managed. Complete destruction of RO NF concentrate is ideal, long‐term sequestration strategies also employed. Because no single technology...
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are an emerging class of contaminants entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and standardized testing protocols needed by industry regulators to assess the potential removal ENMs during treatment. A United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) standard method (OPPTS 835.1110) for estimating soluble pollutant using freeze-dried, heat-treated (FDH) activated sludge (AS) has been recently proposed predicting ENM fate in WWTPs. This study is first...
PAMAM dendrimers have recently been investigated as efficient and biocompatible oil dispersants utilizing their encapsulation capacity; however, high cationic charge density has shown to be cytotoxic. It is therefore imperative mitigate charge-induced toxicity understand the effects of such changes. Presented here a synergistic experimental computational approach examine varying terminal surface on capacity disperse model liner, polycyclic aromatic, hybrid hydrocarbons. Uncharged collapse by...
