NanoFase has strongly increased the insight into the processes determining the environmental fate of nanomaterials at various spatial scales. These insights were implemented in models suited for basin-specific quantification of the fate of nanoparticles in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Thereupon, the insights were used in the development of the nano-specific multicompartmental fate model Simplebox-4-Nano (S4N). RIVM developed S4N as an extension of the Simplebox-model previously developed for the fate assessment of soluble chemicals.

NanoFASE was a 4-year collaboration (2015 - 2019) to create an integrated Framework for Exposure Assessment of nanomaterials released in the environment.

More information about NanoFASE outcomes is available in the final brochure.
