The proposed research forms an integral part of the PROSPEcT LINK project, initiated through the 'Nanoscience through Engineering to Application' programme. The project aims to provide a direct contribution to the global safety assessment of nanomaterials described by the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN). The LINK project will develop essential and seminal test methods and data on two agreed nanomaterials that are of particular commercial relevance to the UK. The project will innovate the scientific foundations for adapting or creating test methods that enable the ecotoxicological hazard assessment of nanomaterials. Both particles (i.e. CeO2 and ZnO) are part of a list of 14 nanomaterials, identified as commercially relevant to the global economic impact of nanotechnology. Furthermore, the development of methods to characterize CeO2 and ZnO nanomaterials in concert with parallel and coordinated development for other nanomaterials across the OECD testing program will enablethe future establishment of QSARs (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships) for predictive safety evaluations of novel nanomaterials.The resulting scientific advancement will help to secure an economic future for the commercialisation of nanotechnologies in and by the UK and provide crucial UK leadership and information to the OECD's global programme on nanomaterials safety assessment.

这项拟议的研究是PROSPEcT LINK项目的一个组成部分，该项目是由“纳米科学从工程到应用”项目发起的。该项目旨在为经合组织人造纳米材料工作组（WPMN）所描述的纳米材料的全球安全评估提供直接贡献。LINK项目将为两种对英国具有特殊商业意义的纳米材料开发基本的和开创性的测试方法和数据。该项目将创新科学基础，以适应或创造能够对纳米材料进行生态毒理学危害评估的测试方法。这两种粒子（即CeO2和ZnO）都是14种纳米材料清单的一部分，被确定为与纳米技术的全球经济影响具有商业意义。此外，CeO2和ZnO纳米材料的表征方法的发展，以及经合组织测试计划中其他纳米材料的平行和协调发展，将使未来建立qsar（定量结构活性关系），用于预测新型纳米材料的安全性评估。由此产生的科学进步将有助于确保纳米技术在英国商业化的经济未来，并为经合组织的纳米材料安全评估全球计划提供关键的英国领导力和信息。
