This research aims to provide the knowledge needed to understand the fate and effects of new nanoparticulate metal products in Australian landscapes. The movement and environmental effects of manufactured nanoparticulates are unknown, partly because of the difficulty of measuring and detecting these nano-products in the environment. This project will develop techniques to identify manufactured nanoparticulate metals in soils, and to determine the potential adverse effects of these products on plants and soil organisms. This will indicate the need, if any, for controls on the disposal or dispersal of nano-sized metal products in the terrestrial environment.

这项研究旨在提供了解澳大利亚景观中新型纳米颗粒金属产品的命运和影响所需的知识。人造纳米颗粒的运动和环境影响尚不清楚，部分原因是测量和检测环境中的这些纳米产品存在困难。该项目将开发技术来识别土壤中人造纳米颗粒金属，并确定这些产品对植物和土壤生物的潜在不利影响。 这将表明需要（如果有的话）对陆地环境中纳米级金属产品的处置或扩散进行控制。
