A lot of research efforts are currently dedicated to the development nano-enabled agrochemicals. It is thus urgent develop suitable strategies for their ecological assessment.
Heteroaggregation of engineered nanoparticles with suspended particulate matter in theory and practice: a roadmap for understanding determining attachment efficiencies.
Aquatic fate models and risk assessment require experimental information on the potential of contaminants to interact with riverine suspended particulate matter (SPM). While for dissolved partition or sorption coefficients are used, underlying assumption chemical equilibrium is invalid contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, incidental nanoparticles, micro- nanoplastics. Their interactions SPM governed by physicochemical forces between contaminant-particle surfaces. The availability...
The assessment of nanoparticle NP transformation in the aquatic environment is essential for comprehending fate nanoparticles and conducting accurate risk assessments. Nanoparticles encompass a variety materials, including manufactured nanomaterials, nanoplastics, natural colloids. Environmental comprises four main routes: dissolution/leaching, abiotic transformation/degradation, biotic transformation/degradation (hetero-)agglomeration. kinetics heteroagglomeration play pivotal role (NP)...

Test system to determine nanomaterial heteroagglomeration attachment efficiency for fate models and risk assessment.
Freshwater suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays an important role in many biogeochemical cycles and serves multiple ecosystem functions. Most SPM is present as complex floc-like aggregate structures composed of various minerals organic from the molecular to organism level. Flocs provide habitat for microbes feed larger organisms. They constitute microbial bioreactors, with prominent roles carbon inorganic nutrient cycles, transport nutrients well pollutants, affecting sediments,...
