caLIBRAte Risikoabschätzung und -bewertung von Nanomaterialien (NM) für den Mensch und die Umwelt


CaLIBRAte ist eingegliedert in „Horizon 2020“ und widmet sich der Risikobeurteilung von industriellen Nanomaterialien. CaLIBRAte besteht aus 24 Partnern mit dem Hauptfokus Risiken und Trends kritisch zu untersuchen, potentielle Riskien für Mensch und Umwelt zu  beurteilen und das Risikomanagment in der Nanotechnologie zu unterstützen.

Dazu integrieren wir innovative Methoden der Risikobeurteilungen, wie zum Beispiel omics Technologien, um umweltrelevante Beurteilungsmodelle zu verbessern. Dafür werden auch gezielt Experimente durchgeführt um die Datenlage im Bereich Nano-Öcotoxikologie zu erweiteren und potentielle Biomarker für nano-spezifische Effekte zu identifizieren.

         fate and transport as well as uptake/bioavailability, hazard and risk in the
          environment. This study assesses the fit of such available models to differ
         ent stages during the innovation of nano-enabled products. Through stakehold
         er consultations, criteria were identified for each innovation stage from id
         ea conception to market launch and monitoring. In total, 38 models were scor
         ed against 41 criteria concerning model features, applicability, resource de
         mands and outcome parameters. A scoring scheme was developed to determine ho
         w the models fit the criteria of each innovation stage. For each model, the
         individual criteria scores were added, yielding an overall fit score to each
          innovation stage. Three criteria were critical to stakeholders and incorpor
         ated as multipliers in the scoring scheme; the required time/costs and level
          of expertise needed to use the model, and for risk assessment models only,
         the option to compare PEC and PNEC. Regulatory compliance was also identifie
         d as critical, but could not be incorporated, as a nanomaterial risk assessm
         ent framework has yet to be developed and adopted by legislators. In conclus
         ion, the scoring approach underlined similar scoring profiles across stages
         within model categories. As most models are research tools designed for use
         by experts, their score generally increased for later stages where most reso
         urces and expertise are committed. In contrast, stakeholders need relatively
          simple models to identify potential hazards and risk management measures at
          early product development stages to ensure safe use of nanomaterials withou
         t costs and resource needs hindering innovation.
