“…Can ENPs-containing sewage sludge contaminate agricultural soils? Papers from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and some other studies present high quality overview of this situation, current knowledge and gaps [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and with many potential occurrences and fate, many possibilities to check, but very few data. In absence of data, the precautionary principle prevails and the assessments (emission, transfer to targets, biological effects) conclude to potential high risks.…”

Environmental assessment of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) currently suffers from lack of data on production, emission, behaviour and fate in natural compartments. This paper aims to bring factual data on production amounts of ENPs and emission of mineral elements in a colloidal or nanoparticulate forms stemming from products, (e.g. cosmetics, paints, concretes) and from two potential waste sinks, namely municipal sewage sludge and nonhazardous waste landfill sludge. Based on the declaration of production and importation of ENPs in France in 2014, we set out a classification of ENPs substances comprising carbon black, organic pigments, miscellaneous organic substances and mineral ENPs. These mineral ENPs were sub-classified on the basis of production and CLP ecotoxicological and hazard classifications. Major elements (Group #1) encompass ENPs substances ubiquitous in total contents, and also as a colloid fraction in waste leachates (Si, Ca, Ti, Al, Mg, Fe, Mn, P). Minor elements were divided as ENPs with soluble substances and dissolved metal ions non-classified as ecotoxic (Group #2: Ba, Bi, Cr (III), Sr, Zr, La, Pd, Mo, W, Y, Au) or with soluble substances classified as ecotoxic and hazard statement code in the CLP regulation (Group #3: Ce, Cu, Zn, Ni, Sb, Ag, Co). Paints, concrete and particularly cosmetics proved to be sources of ENPs. Colloidal forms of elements or ENPs were found in leachate obtained from paint (Si), in cosmetics leachates (Al, Si, Ti and Zn), and in one demolition concrete (Ti). No nanoparticulate forms or fraction of Ag, Ce, Ti and Zn were identified by TEM/EDS in municipal sewage sludge. However, sewage sludge could be a sink for Group #3 elements such as Ag and Ce, since their total concentrations were significant. Based on landfill leachates from municipal solid wastes, the colloidal fraction frequently contained elements of Group #3 (Ni, Zn, Cu, Co and Sb) but with low mean concentration and more rarely Ag and Ce, indicating that the fluxes of these elements from the landfill cells should be low, except for Ce. Landfills seem to not emit ENPs in their leachates. From a regulative aspect, monitoring of Ag in sewage sludge for agricultural use could be of concern.

“…Development and applications of nanotechnology emphasize the need for continuous monitoring of the fate of nanoproducts. The researchers suggest, that the best way to reduce the amount of nanowaste is recycling [4,8]. Also, there is a need to develop research in the scope of nanowaste treatment and to reduce the unintentional release into the environment.…”

“…The global ENMs production of 2010 was estimated as 268,000 to 318,000 metric tons and it has been increasing at a rate of 25% per year. Between 2006 and 2011, the number of products containing nanomaterials has been multiplied by 5 at the global level, and more than 1,300 products have been identified to contain them [1][2][3][4]. Part et al [4] stated that more than 1,600 consumer products are listed in a database to be containing ENMs.…”

Recent nanotechnology proves to be a field of growing scientific interest as the properties of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) can be utilized in a broad spectrum of applications. It should be noted that the nanmaterials can be released to the environment at any stage of the life cycle of products. The term nanowaste refers to waste that contains materials with nanoscale dimensions. The objectives of this paper are review of literature data in the field of nanowaste management and presentation the uncontrolled releases of nanomaterials into the environment through nanowaste streams and to identify possible directions of action in the field of nanocontaminants deactivation.
