  1. 1. Encounters at the microscale: Unraveling soil microbial interactions with nanoplastics

    Författare :P. Micaela Mafla-Endara; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microfluidic devices; Nanoplastics; Soil microorganisms; Toxicity;

    Sammanfattning : Nanoplastics (NPs) originated from plastic residues can interact with soil microorganisms with potential negative effects to their functions. Therefore, I aimed to investigate soil microbial population dynamics when exposed to different NP polymers and concentrations. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Physiologically based modelling of nanoparticle biodistribution and biokinetics

    Författare :Ulrika Carlander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : To predict the toxicity of nanoparticles (1-100 nm), it is crucial to understand their biokinetics i.e. how they are taken up, distributed, dissolved and removed from the body. Such information can be gained from biodistribution studies in animals. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Development and comparison of in vitro toxicity methods for nanoparticles : Focus on lung cell exposure

    Författare :Siiri Latvala; Karine Elihn; Hanna Karlsson; Lennart Möller; Hannu Norppa; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Concerns for the toxic effects of airborne nanoparticles have been raised along with the increasing production of nanostructured materials. However, the health risks of nanoparticle exposure are currently not fully understood. The most commonly used techniques to study nanoparticle toxicity, both in vivo and in vitro, have several limitations. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Adsorption, desorption, and redox reactions at iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces

    Författare :Lelde Krumina; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :Ferrihydrite; Goethite; Secondary metabolites; Reductive dissolution; Catalytic oxidation; hydroxyl radicals; Fenton reaction; SOM decomposition;

    Sammanfattning : Iron oxide nanoparticles are involved in several important biogeochemical processes. The interfaces between aqueous solutions and iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces are found everywhere in nature, and the chemical and microbial processes occurring at these complex interfaces control e.g. nutrient and contaminant availability and transport.

  7. 5. Surface reactivity of metal nanoparticles : - importance of surface active agents and biomolecules from a transformation, mobility and toxicity perspective

    Författare :Sara Skoglund; Inger Odnevall Wallinder; Lars Österlund; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metal nanoparticles; surfactants; metal release; characterization; size distribution; nanotoxicology; risk assessment; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Metallic nanoparticles possess unique properties due to their size and are widely used in e.g. consumer products. From this follows a need to identify and assess potential risks of human and environmental exposure. LÄS MER
