Abstract
Abstract Nanoparticles (NPs) offer the possibility of safe removal of pollutants and microbes in water treatment and purification. Nowadays, NPs are used in the detection and purification of water from chemicals and biological substance
Highlights
The rapid development of nanoparticles (NPs) applicationshave resulted in enhancing the process of products manufacturing, developed products that reduce the concentrations of toxic compounds and assisted in the attainment of water quality standards and health advisories [1]
The present study investigates the toxicity of NDMA as a known water contaminate and silica NPs as newly NPs used in membranes separationand found in high concentrations in brackish water [20]
The results revealed that the NDMA formation potential (FP) from a variety of water samples were at the ranges between 350 to 1020±20 ng/L [32]
Summary
The rapid development of nanoparticles (NPs) applicationshave resulted in enhancing the process of products manufacturing, developed products that reduce the concentrations of toxic compounds and assisted in the attainment of water quality standards and health advisories [1]. The majority of UF membranes are formed by hydrophobic polymers such as polysulfone (PS), polyethersulfone (PES), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) [2]. PES is the most used as UF membrane due to its excellent thermal, mechanical properties and chemical resistance. The PES is hydrophobic in nature and is suspected to fouling [3]. Possible toxic effect of carbon nanotubes to aquatic species such as larval Zebrafish and DaphinaMagna has been studied [5,6]. Another study investigated the physiological changes and toxicity to DaphinaMagna exposed to Titanium
