1 Summary<br />

Project Duration: 1 May 2008 – 31 April 2013<br />

Project Funding: 2.5 Mio. EUR<br />

The ultimate goal <strong>of</strong> the NanoSustain project is to develop new<br />

technical solutions that foster the design, manufacture, use,<br />

reuse/recycling <strong>and</strong> final treatment <strong>and</strong>/or disposal <strong>of</strong> sustainable<br />

engineered nanomaterials (ENM). To reach this goal a<br />

comprehensive physicochemical (pc) <strong>and</strong> hazard characterization<br />

(toxicology, dose-response, no-effect levels) campaign has been<br />

started, including exposure (human, environment), risk (RA) <strong>and</strong><br />

life cycle assessment (LCA) <strong>of</strong> selected ENM (nanocellulose, nano-<br />

TiO2, CNTs, nano-ZnO) <strong>and</strong> associated products, also in relation to<br />

their fate, transport <strong>and</strong> transformation.<br />

The following specific objectives build the cornerstones <strong>of</strong> the<br />

project:<br />

1 Hazard identification by finding the most important hazard<br />

characteristics, exposures <strong>and</strong> risks for selected ENM, dose-<br />
