NSF: EF eNMs may be released to the environment throughout their life-cycle Preliminary in vitro (with various cell lines) and in-vivo studies with simple organisms (e.g., zebrafish) suggest that certain eNMs may be toxic at certain exposure concentration levels The transport and fate of eNMs in the environment is governed by their agglomeration state The toxicity of eNMs may be impacted by their primary size and their agglomeration state The removal of eNMs from aqueous streams can be facilitated by controlling their aggregation state Motivation Nanoparticle Toxicity Exposure Fate & Transport Particle Size Distribution Particle-Cell Interactions Nanoparticle Aggregation

NSF: EF Environmental Multimedia Fate & Transport of eNMs The transport and fate of nanoparticles is governed by their agglomeration state

NSF: EF Gravitational Sedimentation of Nanoparticles in Aqueous Media

NSF: EF eNM Size Distribution in Aqueous Systems  DLS is the standard approach to quantifying the size distribution of nanoparticles  The reliability of DLS measurements is dependent on the NP concentration and suspension stability  Suspension stability is impacted by NP agglomeration (aggregation)/disaggregation which directly affect particle gravitational sedimentation Detector 90° ~40μm
