Furthermore scientific publications, reports, project results (funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) and latest news on human and environmental toxicology are analysed. The current state of knowledge is wrapped up in the knowledge base. The central tool of the integrated application-based database, allows the user to quickly access the information between an application of nanoproducts, the used nanomaterial and its individual possible outcome / toxicological effect(s).
