Preliminary Program subject to change
T6001 Environmental Effects on Nanomaterials
OverviewWidespread use of nanotechnology and increased production of nanomaterials will yield novel chemical species whose environmental effects are largely unknown. This session welcomes research papers on the fate of nanomaterials in the air, water, or soil environments; including transport and transformation of these materials.
