Abstract

Marine waters are extreme environment with high ionic intensity conditions, where nanoparticles can transform by adopting strikingly diverse behavior. The nanoparticles may be subject to rapid aggregation, instability as well as sedimentation that exterminate them from water column. Interactions between organic material and metal bearing nanoparticles might adversely change their distribution, physicochemical characteristics, and tenacity in water column. Accurate and sophisticated detection of engineered nanoparticles in marine environments is vital in evaluating the human and environmental threats as well as to create the regulatory standards of engineered nanoparticles discharge. However, understanding the fate of nanoparticles and their behavior in marine environments is still narrow due to limited efficiency of their characterization methods. Electroanalytical approaches (voltammetric, amperometric, chronoamperometric) paired with advanced techniques such as atomic force microscopy have been recognized as suitable choice for analyzing different biogeochemical courses in marine environments, exclusively those associated with sulfur species, organic materials, trace metal cycling, distribution and interaction between colloidal and dissolved phases.
