Author:Thwala, Melusi; Radebe, N; Tancu, Y; Musee, NDate:Sep 2014Transformation and bioavailability information of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in environmental systems impedes assessment of their potential risks to aquatic environments. In aqueous environments ENPs undergo numerous transformation ...Read more
Author:Thwala, Melusi; Radebe, N; Tancu, Y; Musee, NDate:Sep 2014This study investigated the stability of nAg (40-60 nm) and nZnO (10-130 nm) NPs in Hoagland's Medium of half (50HM) and full (100HM) strengths as representative of complex water. The hydrodynamic size dynamics were studied using the Transmission ...Read more
Author:Tancu, Y; Thwala, Melusi; Musyoka, Nicholas M; Musee, NDate:Nov 2014The exponential use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in commercial applications and of their resultant increasing release into the aquatic systems raises concerns as their potential impacts are unknown. According to the Organisation for ...Read more
