WP1 compiles the available data on the SUN case studies in the literature and other projects. This will be used to construct and maintain the project database, focus experimental research and acquire data for validation of the tools developed in in SUN. WP1 is responsible for acquiring and distributing pristine nanomaterials and nanoproducts for (eco)toxicological testing and release experiments. WP1 will characterize pristine nanomaterials for (eco)toxicological testing and fate modelling, as well as manufactured nanomaterials in biological samples. These physico-chemical data will be used for Risk Assessment in Theme 2.
