NanoRelease
Technology: Guidance
The NanoRelease project will support the development of methods to understand the release of nanomaterials used in products. To do this the project will (1) examine full life cycles of nanomaterials in products, (2) work through specific release scenarios at key exposure points of the life cycle, (3) organize existing material characteristics data and measurement methods for those release scenarios, (4) develop a “state of the science” report for release measurement, and (5) carry out inter-laboratory testing to promote improvements, standardization, and widespread use of methods.
