| 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 |
| Type of Document: | a. Standard |
| Issues Areas: | Health, Safety, and Environment |
| Primary Category: | Chemicals e.g. pesticides, pharmaceuticals, paints, basic chemicals |
| Additional Categories | |
| Goal or Need: | Oxidative stress is an established nanoparticle toxicology mechanistic paradigm |
| Intended Stakeholders: | Nanomaterial manufacturers, nanomaterial users (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, composite material, food packaging producers), testing laboratories, regulatory agencies. |
| Is it Being Implemented: | |
