This contribution critically reviews the state of knowledge on interactions of natural colloids
and engineered nanoparticles with natural dissolved organic materials (DOM). These …

'BACKGROUND This biennial review covers developments in water analysis for emerging
environmental contaminants over the period of 2009À2010. A few significant references that …

We have known for decades that dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a critical role in the
biogeochemical cycling of trace metals and the mobility of colloidal particles in aquatic …

The adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) to the surfaces of natural colloids and
engineered nanoparticles is known to strongly influence, and in some cases control, their …

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have attracted considerable attention for their superior
optical properties and wide utilization in biological and biomedical studies. Recently, intense …

Quantum dots (QDs), also known as “artificial atoms”, are a new class of engineering
nanoparticles. They are semiconductor nanocrystals composed of a few atoms and have …

Interest on the environmental impacts of engineered nanomaterials has rapidly increased
over the past years because it is expected that these materials will eventually be released …

Quantum dots (QDs) are engineered semiconductor nanocrystals with unique fluorescent,
quantum confinement, and quantum yield properties, making them valuable in a range of …

Products based on nanotechnology are rapidly emerging in the marketplace, sometimes
with little notice to consumers of their nanotechnology pedigree. This wide variety of …

Quantum dots (QDs) are one example of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) with
demonstrated toxic effects. Yet, little is known about the behavior of QDs in the natural …
