Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are a rapidly expanding and diversifying group of technologies with current and potential applications in a range of industrial and domestic products including clothing, agriculture, electronics, healthcare and wastewater treatment. With increased application of ENP-enabled technologies, release of ENPs into the environment will inevitably increase. To manage this release effectively and to minimize risk to wildlife, environmental regulators require information of the environmental fate, behaviour and toxicity of ENPs. ENPs are synthesized with numerous core materials and surface chemistries, this grant will be use to assist regulators by providing knowledge of the specific properties of ENPs that contribute to their toxicity that could be applied used in the initial stages of the risk assessment process. These predictions

工程纳米颗粒（ENPs）是一组快速扩展和多样化的技术，目前和潜在的应用范围包括服装，农业，电子，医疗保健和废水处理等工业和家用产品。随着ENP技术应用的增加，向环境中释放的ENP将不可避免地增加。为了有效地管理这种释放，并尽量减少对野生动物的风险，环境监管机构需要关于环境归宿、行为和毒性的信息。ENPs是由许多核心材料和表面化学物质合成的，这笔赠款将用于协助监管机构，提供ENPs的特定属性的知识，这些属性有助于其毒性，可用于风险评估过程的初始阶段。这些预测
