Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) readily transform in the environment, which modifies their
properties and alters their transport, fate, and toxicity. It is essential to consider such …

Sulfidation of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) readily occurs in both urban sewage systems
and sulfur-rich natural environments with formation of silver sulfide nanoparticles (Ag2S …

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been inevitably introduced into ecological
environment during their extensive applications in daily human life. Thermodynamically, Ag …

Sulfidation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which is known to alter AgNP toxicity, occurs
during transport through wastewater treatment plants. In this study, arrays of immobilized …

Nanomaterials are highly dynamic in biological and environmental media. A critical need for
advancing environmental health and safety research for nanomaterials is to identify physical …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), an effective antibacterial agent, are a significant and fast-
growing application of nanotechnology in consumer goods. The toxicity of AgNPs released …

Sediments represent the major sink for released silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in aquatic
environments. It is well known that the environmental behavior and toxicity of AgNPs in …

The use of antimicrobial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer-products is rising. Much
of these AgNPs are expected to enter the wastewater stream, with up to 10% of that …

We investigated the behavior of metallic silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) in a pilot wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP) fed with municipal wastewater. The treatment plant consisted of a …

Oxidative dissolution has large implications for the environmental fate and toxicity of silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this study, we quantify the kinetics, pH, and size dependency of …
