COMputational tool for the assessment and substitution of Biocidal Active substanceS of Ecotoxicological concern (LIFE-COMBASE)
Start date: Oct 3, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,
Background
Biocides not only kill pathogens that are targeted, but can also kill non-pathogens. This can have undesirable side-effects for human health and the environment. Such risks have yet to be sufficiently investigated for most biocides on the EU market because in different environmental compartments (e.g. soil, groundwater and air) active substance ...

Biological Foundation for the Safety Classification of Engineered Nanomaterials (ENM): Systems Biology Approaches to Understand Interactions of ENM with Living Organisms and the Environment (NANOSOLUTIONS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
The main objective of this research proposal is to identify and elaborate those characteristics of ENM that determine their biological hazard potential. This potential includes the ability of ENM to induce damage at the cellular, tissue, or organism levels by interacting with cellular structures leading to impairment of key cellular functions. These adverse effects may be mediated by ENM-induced a ...

SIMULATION OF THE RELEASE OF NANOMATERIALS FROM CONSUMER PRODUCTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT (SIRENA)
Start date: Jan 2, 2013, End date: Dec 30, 2015,
Background
Nanomaterials are increasingly being developed for a range of industrial uses. However, there is a lack of standardised methods for estimating the release of nanomaterials to the different environmental compartments - air, water, soil â during the various stages of any nanotechnology-enabled productâs lifecycle. Current legislation for chem ...

Project to demonstrate an innovative ICT platform as support tool to implement Community Policy for the sustainable management of e-waste (WEEE-NET)
Start date: Jan 2, 2009, End date: Jun 29, 2012,
Background
Manufacturing and use of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) is one of the fastest growing areas of economic activity in Europe. It is one of the most important industrial sectors regarding commerce and employment in the Spanish Basque Country. However, this creates important challenges, since the waste coming from this sector is also gro ...
