| Summary: |
The UK Environmental Nanoscience Initiative (ENI) was launched in 2006 to address key questions regarding the environmental behavior and fate of manufactured nanomaterials. The first phase held two research calls asking applicants to propose models for environmental effects of nanomaterials and research to validate and refine the proposed models. The second phase will focus on international collaboration and developing validated models of fate, behavior, and bioavailability of nanomaterials in the environment. In April 2009, the UK and US jointly funded a research call. This brochure provides an overview of the initiative and lists projects which have received funding through the ENI. |

| Summary: |
This document deals with the classification and handling of waste containing unbound carbon nanotubes (CNT). It includes two sections: Key Issues and Disposal Options. Under Key Issues, the document distinguishes the two appropriate List of Wastes classifications for CNT, one a hazardous entry and the other non-hazardous. The document advises that, as a precaution, with CN waste where the CN is unbound, the waste be classified as 16 03 03 a hazardous entry. Under Disposal Options, two methods of safely disposing of such CN waste are listed incineration at 850 degrees Celsius for at 2+ seconds, or chemical treatment to destroy the nanodimensional structure with the agency recommending the incineration method as the preferred method. |
