NanoDen: Nanomaterial - Occurence and effects in the Danish Environment

The overall objective of the project is to provide answers to whether nanomaterials might cause a risk to the Danish environment, and if so under which conditions. Further the project will generate some new knowledge in relation to the fate of nanomaterials in the environment, knowledge generated with the aim of improving the exposure estimations in the project. The project will aim at answering the questions related to emissions, environmental fate, exposure/concentrations, effects and risks of nanomaterials in the Danish environment with the aim of eventually providing answers in relation to the overall objective. This will include an eventual summarising presentation and discussion in sub-project 6 of assumptions and uncertainties, including methodological issues encountered throughout the project. The focus in the project will be on translating existing knowledge into the best possible estimations of risks of nanomaterials within the scope of the project.
