Leo out 'kick sampling' the streams in the catchment this week. This helps us to measure the biological health of the streams, and will complement our water chemistry monitoring.

@Mercy_Stala @marc_schaus The results will be slightly different due to the properties of the nanomaterials being different from the bulk because of the surface area-to-volume ratio. For industrial application probably graphene oxide nanomaterials will be a better option. #geochemchat

Use of nanoparticles for the detection of antibiotics in aquatic environments

[Environmental Science Journals of the RSC @EnvSciRSC]

The presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments is of concern.

New work in #ESAdvances from Wen, Lit et al reports magnetic nanoparticle as a dual nanozyme for label-free colorimetric detection of antibiotics.
