The last two days I spent quite some time online in a virtual (Teams) kick-off of MOMENTUM, a public private partnership research consortium funded by Zon-MW and Health Holland, Happy to contribute in kind with our expertise on particle toxicology and introduced the concept of Safe-by-Degradation as lesson learnt from previous episode in particle toxicology to prevent toxicity of asbestos substitutes. In addition we want to contribute to MOMENTUM with the know-how on read-across on particles that was developed during our work for ICCA in 2020 on the same topic. Great consortium with a clear Dutch signature, showing the commitment of Netherlands to tackle this potential environmental and health hazard. Glad to be on board.
