Resumen:
Following the need for discussion and the existing issues, this special issue is an attempt to elicit updated information on ? The bioavailability of nanoparticles in soil and the factors that determine their movement and modification as engineered nanoparticle (ENP)-dependent factors, soil properties, andorganic matter;? The behavior of cosmetic nanomaterials, mainly titanium dioxide and fullerenes, within wastewater-treatment plants, as well as current research on their characterization and toxicity;? How nanomaterials are characterized in surface water and sediments by newly-developed methods;? Their presence and reactivity in the atmosphere; ? Their toxicity on microbial community and technical challenges associated with the nanotoxicity evaluation and data interpretation;? The most common methods used to detect the presence, possible transport routes, mode of transformations, and their reservoirs in the environment;? The analytical approaches for most accurately sampling and profile determination of nanoparticles associated to metabolomics in the environmental matrices;? The use of combined techniques to determine sizes and shapes of a population of nanoparticle (NPs); and? The necessity of special regulations since traditional riskassessment models for conventional chemicals may not apply due to the hyperreactivity of these particles.
