Elemental fingerprint as a potential tool for tracking the fate of real-life model nanoplastics generated from plastic consumer products in environmental systems

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-08-22
This research contains new data expanding the realm of nanoplastics that can be followed based on their metallic signatures to all kinds of plastics. Additionally, this study illustrates the importance of nanoplastics as a source of metals and metal-bearing nanoparticles in the environment. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Baalousha, M., J. Wang, M.M. Nabi, M. Alam, M. Erfani, J. Gigault, F. Blancho, M. Davranche, P.M. Potter, and S.R. Al-Abed. The elemental fingerprint as a potential tool for tracking the fate of real-life model nanoplastics generated from plastic consumer products in environmental systems. Environmental Science: Nano. Royal Society of Chemistry, Cambridge, UK, 11(1): 373-388, (2024).
