Abstract

“Nanoparticle fate and transport in the environment” is a topic that explores the behavior of nanoparticles, which are extremely tiny particles at the nanoscale, in natural environments. It focuses on understanding how these nanoparticles are dispersed and transported and ultimately interact with the environment. This field of study examines the potential impacts of nanoparticles on ecosystems and human health, considering factors such as their movement in air, water, and soil, as well as their tendency to accumulate in specific locations. Researchers in this area aim to gain insights into the environmental fate of nanoparticles and develop strategies to mitigate any adverse effects associated with their presence in addition to investigating the various factors that influence the dispersion, distribution, and ultimate destination of nanoparticles in the environment. Understanding the fate and transport of nanoparticles is crucial for assessing their potential impact on ecosystems, human health, and the overall environment.
