COMputational tool for the assessment and substitution of Biocidal Active substanceS of Ecotoxicological concern (LIFE-COMBASE)
Date du début: 3 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 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)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 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)
Date du début: 2 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 30 déc. 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)
Date du début: 2 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 29 juin 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 ...

Project to demonstrate the feasability of compost bioremediation technology for the reclamation and sustainable urban management of brownfields (BIOSOIL)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2004, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2007,
Background
Rehabilitation of urban brownfield areas is a priority for many European countries since it helps facilitate land-use planning, integrated socio-economic developments and reduces pressure on the use of greenfield sites. However, past industrial activities in derelict urban sites have left serious problems in the form of polluted soils that inhi ...
