Abstract

Nanotechnology has become one of the most promising approaches for obtaining new attractive materials. The properties of these nanoproducts are currently leading to a tremendous increase of the application of nanomaterials in industry and in daily life (e.g., catalysis, food industry, surface treatment, personal care, and medical applications). As a consequence, engineered nanoparticles (ENP) will inevitably find their way into environmental systems. However, little is known about the behavior of ENP in aqueous systems, and their fate and ecological influence are widely unknown. The arising conflict between the practical and economic benefits of ENP and the risk of undesirable ecological impact after application is obvious.
