Check out our new article by Caldelas et al. (2022) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131045 about the environmental impact of zinc oxide nanoparticles, in partnership with the landscape engineering company Naturalea. Highlights: • We developed a bioretention system that retained up to 73% zinc, 66% copper, and >99% lead. • The zinc oxide nanoparticles increased lead solubility, leading to … Continue reading New article in Chemosphere: “Effect of ZnO nanoparticles on Zn, Cu, and Pb dissolution in a green bioretention system for urban stormwater remediation”
