Impact of Tylosin Tartrate and Ciprofloxacin on the Deposition of Negatively Charged Polystyrene Nanoparticles onto SiO₂.

ABSTRACT: Aqueous micropollutants can enter the environment through the degradation of macropollution and through ineffective wastewater treatment. Nanoparticles (NPs) and antibiotics, two classes of micropollutants, are of particular concern because of their increased reactivity and potential toxicological effects. The high surface area-to-volume ratio of NPs makes them susceptible to the sorption of other organic contaminants, including antibiotics. The environmental transformations that NPs undergo complicate the determination of where they and any adsorbed organic contaminants may accumulate in the environment. This work aims to investigate the role of surface termination in the environmental transformations and deposition of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) in varying ionic strength and antibi
