This powerpoint presentation outlines information on the environmental concerns and opportunities of nanotechnology in relation to: applications, enhanced or new capabilities to address existing and future environmental problems; and, implications, create the information needed to use nanomaterials in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner The CBEN Systems Goal is to develop effective water treatment systems that exploit engineered nanoparticles. The CBEN Societal Driver is to enable effective risk management for emerging nanotechnologies. Topics covered include: disinfection and biofouling control; C60 (buckminsterfullerene); nC60: Environmentally Relevant; nC60 is Bactericidal (E. coli assay); nC60 as a potent antibacterial agent; possible toxicity mechanisms; E. coli permeability using flow cytometry; factors affecting nC60's toxicity to bacteria; dose response curve for Fullerenes; NOM reduces bioavailability and toxicity of nC60; and, reduction of biofilm formation by nC60. Includes figures.
