The effects of silver nanoparticles on intact wastewater biofilms

The effects of silver nanoparticles on intact wastewater biofilms

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have strong antibacterial properties, which may adversely affect biological wastewater treatment processes. To determine the overall effect, intact biofilm samples were collected from the rotating biological contactor (RBC) at the local wastewater treatment plant and tr...
