Using Single Particle ICP-MS as a Tool for Understanding Metallic Nanoparticle Transformation during Nanotoxicity Assays

July 1, 2014
Author(s)
Monique E. Johnson, Shannon Hanna, Antonio R. Montoro Bustos, Bryant C. Nelson, Elijah J. Petersen, Lee L. Yu
The advent of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) and their increased use has remarkably improved the performance of basic materials and consumer products, but has also increased the potential for ENP release into the environment. Technical procedures, more

Multi-method analysis of multiwall carbon nanotube polymer nanocomposite samples after photodegradation

June 16, 2014
Author(s)
Elijah Petersen, Thomas F. Lam, Justin Gorham, Keana Scott, Chris Long, Renu Sharma, Li Piin Sung, James Alexander Liddle, Tinh Nguyen
Nanomaterials can be used as nanofillers to enhance the properties of polymeric materials. However, the effect of weathering on nanocomposites and the potential for nanomaterial release is not yet well understood. Multiple analytical methods are needed to

Potential artifacts and misinterpretations when evaluating the ecotoxicological effects of nanomaterials

June 16, 2014
Author(s)
Elijah J. Petersen, Theodore Henry, Jian Zhao, Robert MacCuspie, Teresa L. Kirschling, Vincent A. Hackley, Baoshan Xing, Jason White
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have significant commercial potential in a broad range of industries for consumer products as a result of their novel properties. However, these same properties may cause unexpected risks once ENMs are released into the

Potential artifacts when evaluating the ecotoxicological effects of nanomaterials

March 28, 2014
Author(s)
Elijah J. Petersen, Marina Dobrovolskaia, Theodore B. Henry, Jian Zhao, Robert I. MacCuspie, Teresa L. Kirschling, Baoshan Xing, Vincent A. Hackley, Jason White
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have a significant commercial potential for ENM-enable products as a result of novel or enhanced properties. However, the unique behaviors of ENMs may also cause artifacts, spurious results, effects, or findings, when

Microscopic investigation of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Uptake by Daphnia magna

December 18, 2013
Author(s)
Aaron Edgington, Elijah Petersen, Andrew Herzing, Apparao Rao, Stephen Klaine
The objectives of this study were to determine the absorption of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) across the gut epithelial cells in Daphnia magna and to determine if absorption was influenced by their surface functionalization. This project utilized

Impact of UV Irradiation on the Surface Chemistry and Structure of Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Epoxy Nanocomposites

December 6, 2013
Author(s)
Elijah Petersen, Thomas F. Lam, Justin Gorham, Keana Scott, Chris Long, Deborah Jacobs, Renu Sharma, James Alexander Liddle, Tinh Nguyen
One of the most promising applications of nanomaterials is as nanofillers to enhance the properties of polymeric materials. However, the effect of nanofillers on polymers subject to typical environmental stresses, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, high

Biological Uptake and Depuration of Radio-labeled Graphene by Daphnia magna

October 5, 2013
Author(s)
Xiangke Guo, Shipeng Dong, Elijah Petersen, Shiziang Gao, Qingguo Huang, Cheng Gu, Liang Mao
BACKGROUND: Graphene layers are potential candidates in a large number of applications due to their novel properties. However, little is known about their behaviors and associated potential risks largely as a result of a lack of quantification techniques

Biodegradation of 14C-labeled Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

October 1, 2013
Author(s)
Liwen Zhang, Elijah Petersen, Mussie Habteselassie, Qingguo Huang
Environmental transformations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can change their environmental fate and is important to their life cycle assessment, but has not yet been fully investigated due to its high recalcitrance. We are reporting a bacterial

Diffusive Transport of Multiwall carbon nanotubes through an HDPE geomembrane

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
Pooneh Taghizadeh-Saheli, R. K. Rowe, Elijah Petersen, Denis O'Carroll
Carbon nanotubes are used in a wide range of consumer products. During the last few years, the applications for, and production of, carbon nanotubes has increased substantially. Due to their potential environmental and human health risks and eventual

Method for Assessing the Potential Effects of Nanoparticles and other Emerging Contaminants on the Catabolic Capabilities of Microbiological Communities

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
Kela Weber, Elijah Petersen, Sonja Bissegger, L. Rehmann, Robin Slawson, Raymond Legge, Denis O'Carroll
With an increasing utilization of nanoparticles (NPs) in consumer products, the potential for release to the environment also increases. It is thus imperative that methods to test their potential effects in ecosystems are developed. This study describes an
