Interactions of metal ions with CNTs and their effects on environmental toxicology
adverse effects of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) on environment and human health have attracted wide attention.However
much of the research effort has been focused on biological effects of CNTs alone.Due to their high adsorption ability
CNTs are easy to adsorb various toxic metal ions in environment and form CNT-metal ions complex.Biological effects of the complex differ from the individual effect of CNTs or ions
being far from a simple pile-up effect of CNTs and ions.In this paper
we give a review on metal ions adsorption on CNTs
the affecting factors
and environmental toxicology of CNT-metal ions complex.We also point out that radionuclide tracer techniques and synchrotron radiation techniques can play important roles in studies on interactions of metal ions with CNTs and the biological effects on environmental toxicology.
