The presence of nanoparticles in the environment can have important implications for both environmental and human health. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are expected to change industrial production and the economy as we know them today. However, nanotechnologies can also be a source of risks. The increasing use of nanoparticles in industrial applications will inevitably lead to the release of such materials into the environment. Accurately assessing the environmental risks posed by nanoparticles requires using effective quantitative analytical methods to determine their mobility, reactivity, ecotoxicity and persistency, many of which have still to be developed. This overview describes some methodological aspects relating to the fields of nanoparticle analysis, nanometrology and analytical chemistry.
环境中纳米颗粒的存在会对环境和人类健康产生重要影响。纳米科学和纳米技术有望改变我们如今所知的工业生产和经济。然而，纳米技术也可能带来风险。纳米颗粒在工业应用中的使用日益增加，将不可避免地导致此类材料释放到环境中。准确评估纳米颗粒所带来的环境风险需要使用有效的定量分析方法来确定它们的迁移性、反应性、生态毒性和持久性，其中许多方法仍有待开发。本综述介绍了与纳米颗粒分析、纳米计量学和分析化学领域相关的一些方法学方面的内容。
