Since mobility, persistence, and bioavailability are linked to chemical and physical properties, we employ advanced analytical techniques with standardized methods to quantify the state of nanomaterials in natural systems. Fate and transport studies determine how nanomaterials interact with natural matrices in order to predict their behavior in the event of an environmental release.
Advanced characterization, composition, and mapping of nanoparticles on solid phase samples is conducted using synchrotron-based techniques
ERDC has developed mechanistic models to predict fate of nanoparticles in realistic environmental conditions
