Abstract: <p>Silver nanoparticles (nAg) are the largest and fastest growing class of nanomaterials, and are a concern when released into aquatic environments even at low μg L<super>-1</super. levels. Measurement at environmental levels requires extremely sensitive instrumentation, therefore this research developed two passive samplers to track the the concentration of nAg and… more Full Text: The Development and Use of Passive Samplers for Monitoring Dissolved and Nanoparticulate Silver in the Aquatic Environment A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of …
