Abstract
Metallic engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have enormous technological potential and are increasingly applied across different fields and products. However, substances (including ENMs) can be detrimental to the environment and human health, thus requiring systematic testing to uncover potential hazardous effects (in compliance with REACH). Although hazard testing traditionally involves the use of animal experiments, recent years have seen a shift towards in silico modeling. High-quality data is required for in silico modeling, which is frequently not readily available for ENMs. Vast amounts of data have been published in literature but they are unstructured and scattered across numerous sources. To mitigate the limitations in data availability, we have compiled and created a nanotoxicity dataset based on published literature. The compiled dataset focuses mainly on acute in vivo endpoints conducted in a laboratory setting using metallic nanomaterials. The data extracted from literature include material information, physico-chemical properties, experimental conditions, endpoint information, and literary meta-data. The dataset presented here is useful for meta-analysis or in silico modeling purposes.
