Assessing the toxicity of nanoplastics using the primary human bronchial epithelial model

Creator:

Germano, Francesca

Abstract:

Emerging data showing the presence of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) has recently raised awareness surrounding the potential of human nanoplastics (NPs) exposure. Due to factors such as weathering, UV exposure, and other biodegradation processes, plastic pollution in the environment breaks down over time into micro (<5 micrometers) and nanoscale (<1000nm) particles....

Environmental Transformations in Hydrophobicity of TiO2 P-25 Nanoparticles in Alsea River Waters

Creator:

Boenisch, Kylie

Abstract:

Hydrophobic titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are prevalent in industry and manufacturing. They are known for their white pigmentation, are found in sunscreens, paints, cosmetics, and are frequently used in wastewater treatment. Understanding the physicochemical properties of TiO2 P-25 NPs, such as hydrophobicity, are essential when determining their fate, transport,...
