The aim of project was to improve the use of environmental monitoring data to support the implementation of REACH regulation and promote the protection of human health and the environment when dealing with engineered nanomaterials (ENMs).
The objectives of the project were:
1.To develop an on-line information system constisting of two elements:
- A software application to support the acquisition, management and processing of data on the concentration of ENMs.
- A new low cost monitoring station prototype to support the outdoor and indoor monitoring of airborne nano-pollutants.
2.To develop standard operating procedures to collect and analyse ENMs in complex industrial, urban and natural environments.
3.Support the monitoring of REACH compliance and its impact on risk mitigation and prevention.
