Research

Supporting research in terms of environmental assessment has always been a major goal of Noack Laboratorien. Since its early years, the facility has been participating in a variety of ring tests with regard to aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicity studies as well as environmental fate.
Noack Laboratorien has participated in a number of research projects:
– waste water treatment
– screening on natural herbicides and algicides
– mesocosm studies
– screening tests for algal toxins
– toxicological test methods for nanoparticles generated by biomass firing
– Improvement of OECD test guideline 309 (CEFIC-LRI ECO 55).

Research results are exchanged and discussed with the scientific community and presented at meetings like the SETAC Europe, which we attend every year.

Furthermore, communicating and teaching research and environmental topics is as important as performing research itself. As such, since 2002, Noack Laboratorien has been sponsoring the SETAC Outstanding Science Career Award, which is presented during the annual SETAC Europe meeting.
