Numerous studies have made the ubiquitous presence of plastic in the environment
undeniable, and thus it no longer comes as a surprise when scientists measure the …

Abstract The European Centre for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals
(ECETOC)'Nano Task Force'proposes a Decision-making framework for the grouping and …

According to some legislation grouping can streamline data gap filling for the hazard
assessment of substances. The GRACIOUS Framework aims to facilitate the application of …

Identifying and characterising nanomaterials require additional information on physico-
chemical properties and test methods, compared to chemicals in general. Furthermore …

Abstract The European Union–United States Communities of Research were established in
2012 to provide a platform for scientists to develop a “shared repertoire of protocols and …

We summarized the findings of reproductive and developmental toxicity studies on carbon-
based nanomaterials (CNMs). Placental transfer of fullerenes in rats and single-walled (SW) …

This paper aimed to clarify whether maternal inhalation of engineered nanoparticles (NP)
may constitute a hazard to pregnancy and fetal development, primarily based on …

There is an urgent need to establish a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of
nanomaterial (NM) interaction with living systems and the environment, in order for …

The unique properties of nanomaterials (NMs) are beneficial in numerous industrial and
medical applications. However, they could also induce unintended effects. Thus, a proper …

Physicochemical properties of chemicals affect their exposure, toxicokinetics/fate and
hazard, and for nanomaterials, the variation of these properties results in a wide variety of …
