Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Stable Isotope Tracing of Engineered ZnO Nanomaterials
| Description | This project was part of the large PROSPECT LINK project, which provided the UK contribution to the global safety assessment of nanomaterials described by the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials. The UK contribution was to develop test methods and provide data on two agreed nanomaterials that are of particular commercial relevance to the UK - ZnO and CeO2 nanoparticles. Our particular contribution was the identification and development of new isotopic methods for tracing ZnO and CeO2 nanoparticles in complex natural samples. |
| Exploitation Route | The methods that have been developed for isotopic tracing ZnO and CeO2 nanoparticle are in the pubic domain to encourage their use for ecotoxicolligical studies of nanomaterials, which are carried out in both academia and industry. A comprehensive evaluation of isotopic techniques for the tracing of ZnO and CeO2 nanoparticles in complex natural samples was carried out. These evaluations led to the development of preferred isotopic tracing methods that involve the use of isotopically labelled ZnO and CeO2 nanoparticles. These recommendations were published in two PROSPCET Reports for the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials. Amended versions of thes reports have been (ZnO) or will be (CeO2) be published in the scientific literature. |
