2. • 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
