Abstract/Summary
- To review critically those studies that have characterised the hazard of nanomaterials, summarising and appraising key issues and challenges arising from these, 2. To describe succinctly the current test strategies and associated methods used within current chemicals regulatory ecohazard (toxicity and bioaccumulation) assessment, 3. To propose pragmatic variants on current tests based on the information gathered, 4. To propose an experimental programme to test variants on the standard methodologies
