The JRC contributed to a review and survey of key nanomaterial data, resulting in recommendations concerning the central question on how the completeness and quality of curated nanomaterials data should be evaluated.
A consortium of scientists from 16 different institutions from the EU and the USA, including a scientist from the JRC, reviewed the literature and properties of data on nanomaterials. The completeness and quality of curated (i.e. actively managed) nanomaterial data are essential to draw meaningful conclusions, e.g. concerning their toxicity properties.
