Potentiating toxicological interaction of single-walled carbon nanotubes with metals

Mark G J Hartl - Marine Ecotoxicology, CMBB, School of Life Sciences, Heriot-Watt Universityhttp://markhartl.sls.hw.ac.uk

• Nanomaterials: <100nm in at least 1 dimension• quantum mechanical effects often dominate• surface area per unit volume increases• materials that exhibit unique optical, mechanical, magnet conductive and sorption properties•Nanotubes:

• will enter the environment at some stage

Questions: • How do they behave in the environment• How do they interact with marine organisms• How to they interact with other contaminants
