Author:Nota, N; Musee, N; Aldrich, CDate:Sep 2010This paper presents findings on the quantification of potential risks posed by nTiO2 and CNTs to the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The risk quotient (RQ) was calculated as a ratio of modelled predicted environmental concentrations (PEC) ...Read more
Author:Nota, N; Musee, N; Aldrich, CDate:01 Sep 2010Nanotechnology-based applications have dramatically increased in commercial and industrial applications1-3 (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). Also, the growth of nanotechnology-based consumer products (nanoproducts) in the global market is expected ...Read more
Author:Musee, NDate:Aug 2011The burgeoning nanotechnology industry is rapidly generating new forms of waste streams generically referred herein as nanowastes. However, little is known about the fate and behavior of these waste streams and their impacts thereof in different ...Read more
Author:Musee, NDate:Aug 2009This presentation investigates the presence of evidence of increasing quantities of nanowaste streams into the environment, as well as the trends for nanowastes generation. The growth of nano-related patents is discussed, and the growth in ...Read more
