This talk will focus on the adsorption of environmentally and biologically relevant molecules on the surface of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles and the impact that surface adsorption has on nanoparticle contaminant behavior. In particular, the impact of surface adsorption on the properties of nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions including dissolution and aggregation behavior will be presented. Additionally, the role of surface adsorption in nanoparticle toxicity is discussed.
