The OECD has released four new documents evaluating exposure assessment tools for manufactured nanomaterials, covering environmental, occupational, and consumer scenarios and testing how well current models hold up for regulatory use.

Summary
The OECD has recently published four documents focusing on tools and models to assess environmental exposure to manufactured nanomaterials, from both an occupational and a consumer perspective. A functional assessment and statistical analysis of tools and models for nano-specific environmental exposure was performed, together with an analysis of their applicability for use in regulatory exposure assessment.
The documents, which are part of the OECD Series on Testing and Assessment, are:
OECD345 on Evaluation of Tools and Models Used for Assessing Environmental Exposure to Manufactured Nanomaterials; Functional Assessment and Statistical Analysis of Nano-Specific Environmental Exposure Tools and Models;
OECD346 on Evaluation of Tools and Models for Assessing Occupational and Consumer Exposure to Manufactured Nanomaterials; Part I: Compilation of tools/models and analysis for further evaluation;
OECD347 (and Annex) on Evaluation of Tools and Models for Assessing Occupational and Consumer Exposure to Manufactured Nanomaterials; Part II: Performance testing results of tools/models for occupational exposure;
OECD348 on Evaluation of Tools and Models for Assessing Occupational and Consumer Exposure to Manufactured Nanomaterials; Part III: Performance testing results of tools/models for consumer exposure.
