OECD Publishes Dossier Summaries for CNTs, Fullerenes, and Silicon Dioxide

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently published several dossier summaries for nanomaterials tested as part of its Testing Program of Manufactured Nanomaterials.  Under the Program, sponsors tested 11 nanomaterials for:  nanomaterial information/identification; physical-chemical properties and material characterization; environmental fate; toxicological and eco-toxicological effects; environmental toxicology; mammalian toxicology; and material safety.  The new summaries available include:

• Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT): Summary of the Dossier;
• Fullerenes (C60): Summary of the Dossier;
• Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs): Summary of the Dossier; and
• Silicon Dioxide: Summary of the Dossier.
