Abstract

Conclusions and policy implications

  • Increasing discharge of PR-ENMs into the aquatic environment
  • Need for method development for release and characterisation
  • Investigation of factors influencing exposure dynamics which ultimately influence bioavailability, effects and risk potential
  • Robust data generation (exposure and risk) to conclusively advise on the need for policy development for environmental safety
