Nanotechnology takes root

Article Abstract:

This article discusses the application of bimetallic nanoscale particle technology for evaluating groundwater contamination with chlorinated solvents. Research indicates that the chlorinated hydrocarbons are reduced to benign hydrocarbons by these particles and additionally the redox changes accompanying the reactions with contaminants facilitate remediation of anaerobic bacteria.
