H 318, H319 or “no category” Classification for Eye Hazard. One test for all!

LAUS could support you with studies simulating physiological conditions in the gastrointestinal tract required by EFSA for exposure assessment of nanomaterials via food/feed . A short simulation of mouth conditions, followed by a gastric phase at pH 3 for 2 h and an intestinal phase at pH 7 for 2 h in a static set-up helps to evaluate the degradation rate in food/feed matrix or GI fluids. It provides information for the “risk assessment of the application of nanoscience and nanotechnologies in the food and feed chain” (EFSA Journal 2018;16(7):5327).
