Assessing Nanoparticle Toxicity in Waste Water using Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis
29 Jun 2015This white paper demonstrates Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) as useful tool for determining both particle size and concentration of nanomaterials in waste water management. It addresses some of the latest work in literature where the use of NTA has been proposed.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Waste WaterToxicityToxicity is defined as the degree to which a substance can harm humans or animals. It is essential to study the toxicity of pharmaceutical products during the development process so that optimum dosage can be established for the administration of the drug.NanomaterialsNanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and nanoparticles are a group of materials that measure between 1-1000nm for a single unit. Analysis techniques include AFM, electron microscopy and super resolution microscopy.
