As the NanoFASE project draws to a close (Sept 2019) we share information on how our work and several of our lead investigators have contributed to standardization efforts at international and national levels. Of particular note: the contributions to procedures and guidance on assessing environmental transformations of nanomater...
The NanoFASE project produced 8 factsheets to highlight its major outcomes and innovations. These factsheets are designed to describe results in a synthesized and inclusive way targeting regulatory bodies, policymakers, stakeholders, researchers and other interested parties. Take a look at the "NanoFASE Policy and Ex...
We wrote about it, we tweeted about it, but now we decided to talk about it!NanoFASE produced 13 videos on what the project is all about and what our major outcomes are. The videos explain what can be found in different sections of the project's Clickable Exposure Assessment Framework. From children to industry stakeholders,...
The article "Dietary exposure to silver nitrate compared to two forms of silver nanoparticles in rainbow trout: bioaccumulation potential with minimal physiological effects" by NanoFASE scientists Nathaniel J. Clark, David Boyle, Benjamin P. Eynon and Richard D. Handy (University of Plymouth, UK) has been classified as...

In November 2018 NanoFASE’s modelling leader Steve Lofts and coordinator Claus Svendsen (NERC) flew in to Helsinki (directly from the NANOSAFE, NSC and the EPPN-NSC i2L joint Workshop on Safety Aspects in Pilot Lines in Grenoble). They joined NanoFASE water/sediments leader Frank von der Kammer (UNIVIE) to provide inp...
One of the nicest things that ever happened to NanoFASE was the 8 minutes of unmitigated praise received in March 2018 from Georgios Katalagarianakis, the incomparable EU officer who shaped and drove so many nanosafety projects. When he retired recently and Cluster members created the ‘Book of George’, NanoFASE contr...
Clarivate Analytics recognized world-class researchers who demonstrate exceptional research performance with record production of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year in Web of Science. See Clarivate’s impact analysis HERE. Prof. Iseult Lynch heads up NanoFASE’s te...
NanoFASE Advisor Gregory V. Lowry of Carnegie Mellon University informed the Nature Nanotechnology community of new modelling capabilities to increase accuracy of environmental exposure concentration estimates and associated risks – centring on a recent publication by NanoFASE’s Véronique Adam et col. from EMP...
Drs Elma Lahive, Amaia Green Etxabe and Sam Harrison (NERC Centre for Ecology & Hydrology) A key aim of the NanoFASE project is to study the effect of plant–soil interactions on the environmental fate and biotic uptake of nanomaterials from soils into plants and animals, providing information on important proces...
