Environmental application and ecological significance of nano-zero valent iron

Toxicity studies considering both the bare and stabilized forms of zero valent iron nanoparticles(nZVI) could be timely, given that ecological risks identified are minimized through modification or with substitution of approaches in the synthesis, development and environmental application of the nan...

Description
Summary:Toxicity studies considering both the bare and stabilized forms of zero valent iron nanoparticles(nZVI) could be timely, given that ecological risks identified are minimized through modification or with substitution of approaches in the synthesis, development and environmental application of the nanoparticles before succeeding to volume production.This review is focused on the fate, transport and toxicological implications of the bare nZVI and surface modified particles used for environmental applications.
