Programme - FCT/CAPES Execution dates - 2013-04-01 - 2014-03-31 (12 Months) Funding Entity - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia Funding for CESAM - 4500 € Total Funding - 4500 € Proponent Institution - Universidade de Aveiro Participating Institutions Universidade Federal do Rio Grande- FURG, Brasil Project Description Recently, nanotechnology has received considerable attention due to the inherent properties of new nanoparticles (NPs) that can be found in many products, and possibly having as final destination the environment. In this context the project aims to study the toxicity of nanomaterials in aquatic organisms (freshwater and estuarine), studying different routes of exposure (water column and/or sediment).
