This powerpoint presentation outlines information on the environmental concerns and opportunities of nanotechnology in relation to:
applications, enhanced or new capabilities to address
existing and future environmental problems; and,
implications, create the information needed to use
nanomaterials in an environmentally responsible and
sustainable manner
The CBEN Systems Goal is to develop
effective water treatment systems
that exploit engineered nanoparticles.
The CBEN Societal Driver is to enable
effective risk management for
emerging nanotechnologies.
Topics covered include: disinfection and biofouling control; C<sub>60</sub> (buckminsterfullerene); nC<sub>60</sub>: Environmentally Relevant; nC<sub>60</sub> is Bactericidal (E. coli assay); nC<sub>60</sub> as a potent antibacterial agent; possible toxicity mechanisms; E. coli permeability using flow cytometry; factors affecting nC<sub>60</sub>'s toxicity to bacteria; dose response curve for Fullerenes; NOM reduces bioavailability and toxicity of nC<sub>60</sub>; and, reduction of biofilm formation by nC<sub>60</sub>. Includes figures.
