Journal Article
Fate and risk of metal sulfide nanoparticles in the environment
2020
Overview
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, metal sulfide nanoparticles have been widely detected in the environment including water, soils and sediments. Metal sulfides are considered as stable species in the environment, while transformation and risk of nanoparticles have attracted increasing attention due to their specific physicochemical properties compared to bulk materials. Here we review aggregation, sedimentation, chemical and biological transformations, and potential risk of silver sulfide (Ag2S), zinc sulfide (ZnS), copper sulfide (CuS), cadmium sulfide (CdS) and lead sulfide nanoparticles, and quantum dots such as ZnS and CdS. The review shows that both stability and risk of metal sulfide nanoparticles are highly dependent on environmental factors such as pH, inorganic salts and natural organic matter.
