[Environmental Implication of Engineering Materials and Anthropogenic Particles]

As industrial-scale manufacturing is now a reality for advanced, nanoscale materials, fundamental understanding of environmental chemistries and potential implications is necessary for an ultimately sustainable nanotechnology/nanomaterial industry. Within this framework, which continues to be refined, our laboratory made significant contributions towards fundamentally understanding the environmental chemistry of engineered carbon-based materials, surface stabilized advanced metal oxide nanoparticles, and anthropogenic particles (e.g. microplastic and nanoplastic).
