Nanotechnology is a very important industry which may be socially transformative, but produces nanomaterials (NMs) which have a potential but poorly characterised risk to the environment. This Research Front describes new research investigating NM environmental chemistry, particularly in relation to ecotoxicology. This Research Front shows some of the most exciting research undertaken currently and fits within a dynamic research program, which is global in scope and which attempts to unravel these complex areas.
