A volume in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interaction series, it enhances understanding of the transition from plant to human. Because of their unique physicochemical qualities, nanoparticles are being used with increasing frequency for a number of purposes, though numerous studies also demonstrate their potential detrimental effects on plants, human health, and the environment. In contrast, it has been also been shown that using plants to synthesize nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticles, is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Nanoparticle Interfaces with Plants, the Environment and Human Life explores the transitional and translational effects of nanoparticles to ensure optimal safe utilization.

Xingmao (Samuel) Ma
Samuel Ma is currently an associated professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, with a specialization in Environmental Engineering, from Missouri University of Science & Technology in 2004. His expertise is in the fate, transport and impact of various emerging contaminants in both natural and engineered systems. He has over a decade of experiences in studying the transport and transformation of engineered nanoparticles in soil-water-plant systems, and his current interest is in the emerging contaminants of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and micro- and nanoplastics. He is also interested in understanding the role of natural infrastructures in mitigating environmental consequences of major natural disasters such as flooding. He has published over 110 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters and has been an invited keynote speaker in several international conferences in this topic. He also has extensive experiences in plant-based water/soil treatment technologies, and ecosystem restoration. His lab applies both experimental investigations and data science to tackle various environmental issues.
