Document Title: | Nanotechnologies - Considerations For Performing Toxicokinetic Studies With Nanomaterials |
url: | https://webstore.ansi.org/Standards/ISO/ISOTR220192019 |
Scope: | This document describes the background and principles for toxicokinetic studies relevant for nanomaterials. Annex A shows the definitions for terminology with respect to toxicokinetics as used in OECD TG 417:2010 |
Keywords: | nanomaterials, toxicology, risk assessment, toxicokinetics, OECD |
Type of Document: | a. Standard |
Issues Areas: | Health, Safety, and Environment |

Goal or Need: | Toxicokinetics of nanoparticles is of special interest because, in comparison to larger sized particles, the small size of free nanoparticles could enable an increased rate of translocation beyond the portal of entry, to the lymphatic fluid and blood circulation, from where they can reach other body organs. In addition, smaller sized nanoparticles may show a more widespread organ distribution than larger sized particles. |
