Nanomaterials (NMs), both natural and synthetic, are produced, transformed, and exported
into our environment daily. Natural NMs annual flux to the environment is around 97% of the …

At least 300 Mio t of plastic are produced annually, from which large parts end up in the
environment, where it persists over decades, harms biota and enters the food chain. Yet …

The high optical and chemical activity of nanoparticles (NPs) signifies the possibility of
converting the spin angular momenta of photons into structural changes in matter. Here, we …

The increased use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in commercial products and the
continuous development of novel applications, is leading to increased intentional and …

Single-particle analysis has attracted considerable attention in recent years because of the
size/composition-dependent properties and heterogeneity of nanoparticles (NPs). Single …

Cell death is the process that regulates homeostasis and biochemical changes in healthy
cells. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) act as powerful cell death inducers through the …

Nano and colloidal particles (1–1000 nm) play important roles in phosphorus (P) migration
and loss from agricultural soils; however, little is known about their relative distribution in …

Over the past few years, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have penetrated nearly every
sector of modern life and their broad-scale use is steadily and rapidly increasing. The …

Agricultural cropping systems involve the application of high fertilizer rates, which lead to
phosphorus (P) losses via surface runoff to the aquatic environment, thereby resulting in …

In the context of aquatic environmental issues, dynamic analysis of nano-sized inorganic
water pollutants has been one of the key topics concerning their seriously amplified threat to …
