Researcher finds differences but no general trends when potential contaminants bond to nanoparticles

More research is needed to understand how nanoparticles could impact the environment. When it comes to the size of nanoparticles moving contaminants in water, the jury’s still out. That’s what Moira Ridley, a professor at Texas Tech University’s Department of Geosciences, found out with several experiments involving strontium and nanoparticles of titanium dioxide – one of the most widely produced nanoparticles used in everything from cosmetics and sunscreen to automotive paint.
