Behavior of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles in Terrestrial Systems—Evaluation Trough Batch and Leaching Column Tests

Nanotechnology, a rapid evolving field of matter manipulation to develop and produce extremely small tools/materials, is having exponential increase in a number and diversity of materials. Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have, among other important intrinsic properties, active surfaces and are subject to transformations, adsorption, precipitation and accumulation on solid matrixes, contaminants or living organisms.
