Release of engineered nanomaterials from personal care products throughout their life cycle (2014, background): “Given the high solubility of ZnO (Fairbairn et al. 2011; Li et al. 2011a; Bian et al. 2011; Meulenkamp 1998) and the residence time (hours) in WWTP processes (Ma et al. 2014; Musee et al. 2014), one would expect most of the Zn to be either as Zn2?, or transformed to ZnS (Lowry et al. 2012) and zinc…”
Bacterial exposure to ZnO nanoparticles facilitates horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (2018, background): “The dissolved zinc ion concentration was much higher in LB medium than in fresh water medium because the LB medium has components such as PO4, citrate, and other organic ligands that promote nZnO dissolution (Li et al., 2011).”
