ECT at 24th SETAC GLB Annual meeting

The 24th SETAC GLB Annual Meeting (Biodiversity in water and on land – the role of chemical stressors) takes place in Landau (Pfalz), Germany, from 4 to 6 September 2019. ECT is contributing with the following two presentations:

Assessing the long-term effects of the selected nanomaterial titanium dioxide – adaptation of testing procedures

Effects of the nanomaterial titanium dioxide NM-105 were studied in a sediment/water system with Lumbriculus variegatus according to OECD test guideline 225. Test media were prepared by mixing NM105 suspensions and the sediment-overlying water. Nominal test concentrations were confirmed by chemical analysis of Ti concentrations in the test media. Effects of titanium dioxide (NM-105) were […]

Iron-based nanoparticles and nanocomposite structures for removal of contaminants from groundwater and sewage

In the project ‘Iron-based nanoparticles and nanocomposite structures for removal of contaminants from groundwater and sewage’ (Fe-Nanosit), Carbo-Iron®, a nanocomposite for remediation of contaminated groundwater and Pd-doted magnetite and magnetite-zeolith for treatment of industrial wastewater were developed. Since no data on ecotoxicity of these particles were available, ecotoxicity of the nanocomposites was investigated using standard […]
