Project description
Background & project objective
Main goal of the proposed project is to provide science-based support for the development of seawater ecotoxicity characterization factors for biodegradable polymers in the context of developing a biodegradable shell for an oceanographic measurement buoy.
Project output
Main project output focuses on the aspects that are listed in below table.
| Aspect | Output description |
|---|---|
| Input data collection and curation | Collect and curate physicochemical substance properties for around 10 chemical constituents (e.g. biodegradation half-lives). |
| Implementation of input data into characterization model | Prepare collected and curated data in a way that they can be implemented into the global toxicity characterization model USEtox. |
| Results calculation and interpretation | Support the calculation of marine ecotoxicity characterization factors based on the provided input data for the considered chemical constituents. |
| Documentation of applied methods | Provide a brief documentation of data collection, curation and USEtox implementation methods. |
