An EPA database on the effects of engineered nanomaterials-NaKnowBase.

ABSTRACT: The US EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) has conducted a research program assessing potential risks of emerging materials and technologies, including engineered nanomaterials (ENM). As a component of that program, a nanomaterial knowledge base, termed "NaKnowBase", was developed containing the results of published ORD research relevant to the potential environmental and biological actions of ENM. The experimental data address issues such as ENM release into the environment; fate, transport and transformations in environmental media; exposure to ecological species or humans; and the potential for effects on those species. The database captures information on the physicochemical properties of ENM tested, assays performed and their parameters, and the results obtained. NaKnowBase (
