Research Impact
The goal of this project was to develop tools to quantify how engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) undergo wastewater treatment, accumulate in biosolids, and whether they accumulate in the environment. Model ENMs, as well as ENMs in consumer products were studied to better understand their material life cycles, final disposition in the environment, and exposure by biota in rivers and soils.
