Quantification of the accidental release rates of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) would inform risk management strategies and their implementation, but a comprehensive assessment of ENM accidental release is not currently available. Here the authors present a predictive study of the release of ENMs following accidents during their fabrication, transport and end-of-life processes in the next 10 and 30 years, based on conceptual models inspired by the nuclear power sector.
