Exposure to nanomaterials from the Danish Environment

Sub-report no. 3 from the project "Consumer exposure and risk assessment of nanomaterials in products on the Danish market"

Under the Agreement "Better Control of Nanomaterials" (“Bedre styr på nanomaterialer”), the Danish EPA has commissioned a number of projects aiming to investigate and generate new knowledge on the presence of nanomaterials in products on the Danish market and assess the possible associated risks to consumers and the environment.

This report is part of a series of four from a project which addresses consumer exposure and risk assessment of nanomaterials in products on the Danish market. The report evaluates the population’s exposure to nanoparticles from the environment i.e. ambient air, indoor air, soil and water (drinking water) and describes the risk associated with this exposure. The results should give proportionality to the possible risks from exposure to nanomaterials from use of consumer nano-products which are described in other parts/ work packages of this project.
