Sentence examples for flows of ENMs from inspiring English sources

The flows of ENMs are determined by their associated flows of building materials.

Using a bottom-up, semi-quantitative approach, we estimated the flows of ENMs contained in paints along the product's life cycle from buildings to recycling and landfill.

To evaluate whether there is currently any nano-relevant construction and demolition waste (C&DW) originating from buildings, we evaluated the sources and flows of ENMs in C&DW and identified their potential exposure pathways.

In these models, the flows of ENM from production, use, and disposal through technical compartments to the environment are predicted and environmental concentrations are obtained assuming well-mixed environmental compartments.

These models can be separated into material flow models that track the flows of ENM from production and use to end-of-life processes and finally to the environment, and environmental fate models that describe the behavior within and the transfer between environmental compartments.

Static environmental exposure assessment models based on material flow analysis (MFA) have previously been used to estimate flows of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) to the environment.

Material flow analysis (MFA) is a useful tool to predict the flows of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) to the environment.

Only a reduced amount of ENMs will flow back to the productive process of the economy in a limited number of sectors.

Material flow models also indicate that a variety of ENMs may accumulate in waste streams.

In general, more experimental studies are needed to examine the fate and transport of ENMs in waste streams and to deduce transfer coefficients, respectively to develop reliable material flow models.

Therefore, this study aimed at modeling the potential fate of ENMs by using the example of the Japanese construction sector and by conducting a dynamic material flow analysis.
