  • Addressing the Risks of Nanoscale Polymers: Exposure, Behavior, and Toxicity

    Creator:
    Stine, Jared
    Abstract:
    Nanoscale polymers (including nanoplastics) are widely present through commerce and make their way into the environment. As the improper disposal of plastic waste leads to continued accumulation and degradation of plastic pollution, the presence of plastic particles less than 1 micron (μm) in size (nanoplastics) will increase. Heightened concern over...

  • Addressing Persistent Challenges in Nanotoxicology Exposures : Techniques for in situ Characterization

    Creator:
    Crandon, Lauren E.
    Abstract:
    Nanoparticles (NPs), defined by their size (1-100 nm), are increasingly incorporated into commercial and industrial products due to their high surface area and unique properties. They can be designed for specific applications by manipulating composition, size, shape, and surface functionalization. As NP production and complexity increases, there is a need...
