Studying the Natural Environment and Emerging Contaminants One Nanoparticle at a Time

Despite their small size, nanoparticles are responsible for several environmental processes ranging from the biogeochemical cycling of elements to the transport of toxicants such as heavy metals and radionuclides. The advent of engineered nanotechnology in the recent years necessitated the development of sensitive and selective analytical tools and techniques capable of exploring the nanoscale. These new analytical approaches, such as single particle ICP-MS, are now being used to better understand the natural environment and the impacts of anthropogenic activities.

Climate justice, cutting-edge ecological research, and policy changes are all good things to engage in, but when do we have time to collectively do this work as a college/university/community?
