Comparison for an early validity discussion of our PECs and nanoparticle concentration measurements, reported elsewhere73. We show full ranges with mode or mean values.
| Compartment | Modelled ENM | Measured nanoparticles | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit | Mode | Range | Mean | Range | ||
| CeO2-ENM | Sewage treatment effluent* | ng/L | 199.90 | 0.03–1868.00 | na | 0.00–3900** |
| Surface water (fresh water) | ng/L | 7.00 | 0.00–61.70 | 5.10 | 0.00–13.80 | |
| Ag-ENM | Sewage treatment effluent* | ng/L | 18.90 | 0.10–151.20 | na | 0.00–1300.00 |
| Surface water (fresh water) | ng/L | 0.40 | 0.00–4.20 | 0.74 | 0.00–6.20 | |
*Very vague comparison based on measurements for industrial waste water.
**Ce (non cerium dioxid) particles.
