Common Strategies and Technologies for the Ecosafety Assessment and Design of Nanomaterials Entering the Marine Environment
The widespread use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in a variety of technologies and consumer products inevitably causes their release
into aquatic environments and final deposition into the oceans. In addition, a growing number of ENM products are being developed specifically for marine
applications, such as antifouling coatings and environmental remediation systems, thus increasing the need to address any potential risks for marine
organisms and ecosystems. To safeguard the marine environment, major scientific gaps related to assessing and designing ecosafe ENMs need to be filled.
In this Nano Focus, we examine key issues related to the state-of-the-art models and analytical tools being developed to understand ecological risksand to design safeguards for marine organisms
