Professor Sara E. Mason of the University of Iowa Department of Chemistry has been named to the Royal Society of Chemistry's Environmental Science: Nano Advisory Board. 

"Environmental Science: Nano is a comprehensive, high-impact source of peer-reviewed information on the design and demonstration of engineered nanomaterials for environment-based applications and on the interactions of engineered, natural, and incidental nanomaterials with biological and environmental systems. This scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topic areas:

• Novel nanomaterial-based applications for water, air, soil, food, and energy sustainability
• Nanomaterial interactions with biological systems and nanotoxicology
• Environmental fate, reactivity, and transformations of nanoscale materials
• Nanoscale processes in the environment
• Sustainable nanotechnology including rational nanomaterial design, life cycle assessment, risk/benefit analysis
