Evaluation of Nanofiber Stability And Toxicity in Biological Wastewater Treatment
Original language description
Nanotechnology is now used in a range of wastewater treatment applications. As an example, polymer nanofibers are starting to be used as carriers for bacterial populations. The primary advantages of nanofiber technology are its high specific surface area, which allows rapid colonization, and the high stability of the resultant biofilm, thanks to its characteristic surface morphology. A question still remains, however, as to possible leakage of (nano)fibers into the surrounding environment, and what effect these (nano)fibers have. This study assesses a) to what extent nanofibers break away from the supporting-fiber’s surface; b) how to prevent or limit any impact of breakaway; and c) how to evaluate possible toxicological impacts of breakaway nanofiber particles on aquatic organisms.
