Session Description: This session will highlight the potential benefits of nanoscale technologies to solve critical environmental problems in agriculture, food, and water while managing environmental risk and health impacts. Potential applications include sensors for the detection of contaminants, plant protection products, and contaminant remediation. A special focus will be given on fate and transport of nanoparticles in soil, molecular interactions with bio-entities, and use of modeling and experimental approaches to understand these processes. This is a companion session for the Cross Div. Symposium-Environmental Nanotechnology: Preventing and Solving Current and Future Problems. The presenters will be taking questions in the Panel Discussion Session.
