1 Nanomaterials in the Aquatic Environment: Persistence, Transformations, and Bioavailability Heileen (Helen) Hsu-Kim Duke University Civil & Environmental Engineering

2 What are engineered nanomaterials? Materials manufactured to ~1-100 nm in size Exhibit unique properties due to their small size (relative to larger materials) Concerns for their safety and environmental impacts: Auffan et al., Nature Nano, 2009

3 Breaking the Cycle of Unintended Consequences Mercury amalgamation for precious metals mining Pesticides for control of disease Chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) 3

4 Environmental health and safety of nanomaterials Life cycle of a material: Raw materials, Fabrication Products use, Disposal unintended release Exposures and Effects?

5 Environmental exposure to nanomaterials: Key Questions: What are the main processes controlling exposures of nanomaterials to ecosystems? How do other water constituents alter nanomaterial surfaces, speciation, and persistence? Do nanomaterials naturally occur in these settings?

6 Presentation Outline 1. Exposure of metal-based nanomaterials in the aquatic environment 2. How other water constituents alter nanomaterial reactivity Example: Silver nanomaterials in public wastewater treatment systems 3. Naturally-occurring nanomaterials
