Silver nanoparticles in sewage sludge
Silver nanoparticles are one of the most extensively used types of nanoparticles in consumer products due to the unique antibacterial activity of silver. There have been raising environmental concerns over their adverse ecological effects, along with ionic silver potentially released from the particles. According to a paper in Environmental Science & Technology, the analytical high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study by the Virginia Tech researchers provides for the first time field-scale nanoparticle-level information of silver sulfide (Ag2S) that was present in the final stage sewage sludge materials. While this current study provides nanoparticle-level information of the silver sulfide present in sewage sludge products, and further suggests the role of wastewater treatment processes on transformation of silver nanoparticles and ionic silver potentially released from them, future studies of size-dependent reactivity, particularly solubility, of silver sulfide nanoparticles will be useful in understanding the environmental fate, influence, and entire life cycle of engineered silver nanoparticles.
