Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts blog

Our latest issue is a collection of articles on the theme of environmental nanotechnology, guest edited by JEM Editorial Board member, Wunmi Sadik.

On the outside front cover we have a HOT article from Rai Kookana on the sorption properties of fullerenes in soil – showing that they may form colloidal nanoparticles which affects the way they partition:

Sorption of nano-C60 clusters in soil: hydrophilic or hydrophobic interactions?

J. Environ. Monit., 2011, 13, 1190-1194
DOI: 10.1039/C0EM00689K

The inside front cover highlights work from Paul Westerhoff on the removal of TiO₂ nanomaterials from waste water:

Occurrence and removal of titanium at full scale wastewater treatment plants: implications for TiO2 nanomaterials
