Iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) generated from industrial activities could end up into the sewer system, and potentially affect wastewater treatment processes. The impact of FeNPs on anammox process is getting increasing attention. However, the resistance mechanism of anammox granular sludge (AnGS) to FeNPs has not been fully elucidated. The current study investigated the metabolic and morphological response of AnGS to acute and chronic FeNPs exposure. Results showed that nitrogen removal efficiencies were elevated at 1-4 mM FeNPs concentrations compared to 0-0.5 mM FeNPs. Extracellular protein and tyrosine-like and tryptophan-like fluorophore secretions of AnGS were stimulated by FeNPs, which largely contributed to the adsorption of FeNPs on AnGS surface. FeNPs exposure triggered higher necrotic fraction of AnGS compared with no FeNPs condition. Highly absorbed particles appeared inside the bacterial cells of AnGS, soft X-ray imaging illustrated that anammox bacteria maintained intact cellular and anammoxosome structures whereas non-anammox bacterial structures were damaged under FeNPs exposure. Anammox bacterial abundance increased from 4.84% to 20.64%, when FeNPs concentrations increased from 0 mM to 4 mM, and anammoxosome membrane ensured anammox bacterial metabolism under FeNPs exposure. This study extended fundamental understanding of AnGS resistance mechanisms to FeNPs.

Metropolitan Mexico City (MMC) children and young adults exhibit overlapping Alzheimer and Parkinsons' diseases (AD, PD) and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 pathology with magnetic ultrafine particulate matter (UFPM) and industrial nanoparticles (NPs). We studied magnetophoresis, electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry in 203 brain samples from 14 children, 27 adults, and 27 ALS cases/controls. Saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM), capturing magnetically unstable FeNPs ~ 20nm, was higher in caudate, thalamus, hippocampus, putamen, and motor regions with subcortical vs.

Iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) are commonly used in various industrial processes, leading to their release into the environment and eventual entrance into wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). FeNPs undergo dissolution, migration, and transformation in WWTPs, which can potentially affect the stable operation of anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox) systems and may be discharged with wastewater or biomass. To better understand the fate of FeNPs in anammox systems, exposure experiments were conducted using anammox granular sludges (AnGS) and FeNPs.
