Ecotoxicity testing of nanomaterials in sediment – suggestions to improve science and regulation Sediments generally act as a sink of released manufactured nanomaterials (NMs).

In 2015, the OECD finally published the findings of its seven year testing programme for manufactured nanomaterials. Here, we present the first in-depth analysis of the published OECD dossiers with regards to data on physical and chemical properties, environmental fate and ecotoxicology. Each individual study in the dossiers was reviewed with regard to, among other, which OECD Test Guidelines (TG) were used, and the reliability assigned to the study.
