Document Title: | Nanotechnologies — Testing the photocatalytic activity of nanoparticles for NADH oxidation |
url: | |
Scope: | This document specifies a method for the measurement of the photocatalytic activity (PCA) of nanoparticles (NPs), suspended in an aqueous environment in physiologically relevant conditions, by measuring the ultraviolet (UV)-induced nicotine adenine dinucleotide hydrate (NADH) oxidation. The measurement is intended to assess the potential for the photo-toxicity of nanomaterials. The method is also applicable to NP aggregates and agglomerates. |
Keywords: | Photocatalytic activity; titanium dioxide, environmental media, phototoxicity |
