Standardization of Methods for the Behavior and Fate of Nanomaterials in Environmental Media: Solubility and Dissolution Rate
The safety testing of chemicals and their risk assessment require standardized and validated methods. For nanomaterials there is a critical lack of suitable test methods that take into account the special properties of those materials.

In this project we develop, validate and implement a methodology to determine the solubility and dissolution rate of nanomaterials in environmental aquatic media as e.g. surface waters. This will lead to a test guideline on OECD level and fulfill the requirements under REACH.
This project is funded by the German Ministry for the Environment
