This research offers fundamental and possible breakthrough results that will benefit practical applications in public health and environmental nanotechnology. For first time, mitigation of the negative effects of a common nanoparticle will be studied from the organism side. Results of the work can be adapted to other nanoparticles, such as zero-valent nanoparticles silver nanoparticles, that come into contact with beneficial bacteria commonly present in wastewater treatment systems. This research involves integration of engineering applications, biotechnology, and cellular and molecular microbiology. Broader impacts of the work include support of an institution in an EPSCOR state, training of students inunderrepresented groups inluding native Americans. The research aslso involves the development of novel new technolgy that builds the infrastrucure of science.

这项研究提供了基本的和可能的突破性结果，将有利于公共卫生和环境纳米技术的实际应用。 第一次，将从生物体方面研究减轻普通纳米颗粒的负面影响。 这项工作的结果可以适用于其他纳米颗粒，例如零价纳米颗粒、银纳米颗粒，这些纳米颗粒与废水处理系统中常见的有益细菌接触。这项研究涉及工程应用，生物技术，细胞和分子微生物学的整合。这项工作的更广泛的影响包括支持EPSCOR州的一个机构，培训包括土著美国人在内的代表性不足的群体的学生。 研究也涉及到新技术的发展，这些新技术为科学奠定了基础。
