TL;DR: The next steps towards a realistic risk assessment of nanoparticles in plants are to measure ENM uptake rates, the size exclusion limit of the apoplast and to unravel plant physiological features favoring uptake.

TL;DR: The theory behind observed nanoparticle heteroaggregation rates (αβB) to background particles in mixed systems is experimentally validated, demonstrating both collision frequency and background particle concentration to be independent for use in fate modeling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a set of medium characteristics to report in all nanomaterial (NM) tests and adopted these medium properties to facilitate the generation of integrated comparable datasets on NM fate and effects.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the diversity of state-level approaches and methodologies for conducting disproportionate environmental health impact evaluations as part of their environmental justice programs and initiatives, and found state approaches to these assessments, often called "environmental justice analyses" range from simple qualitative evaluations of demographic...

TL;DR: Results run counter to a widely held assumption that acquired macromolecular coatings in natural systems will likely mask engineered coatings and dictate NP mobility and support the need for development and validation of well-controlled functional assays performed in complex media.
