| Abstract |
Considering the important gaps in knowledge for many variables related to nanoparticles such as toxicological properties, benchmarks or methods of assessing environmental concentrations, conducting a complete risk assessment is not an easy task. This article proposes a simplified, practical and affordable method of evaluation, using qualitative methods such as control banding. |
