On the nanopartikel.info website, find the project focused on in-vitro testing procedures for airborne nanomaterials. Summarize its main goal, how the technology functions, its original and extended duration, and its current status, including any reasons for delays and what is needed for completion.
Navigate to the 'Forschung' (Research) page. Click on the 'Projekte' (Projects) link within the 'Forschung' section. Locate the 'NanoINHAL' project (identified by its description: 'In-vitro Testverfahren für luftgetragene Nanomaterialien...') and click its 'Weiterlesen' (Read more) link. On the 'NanoINHAL' project page, scroll down to and read the 'Projektbericht' (Project Report) section. Identify the project's purpose, the mechanism of the technology, its timeline, and its current status/needs. Synthesize the identified information into a concise summary.
State that the project's purpose is to develop a device-based method for screening airborne (nano)materials for their toxic effects. Describe the technology as an exposure unit for human alveolar lung models and a microfluidic two-organ chip, combining into a compact NanoCube System. Provide the project duration: originally June 1, 2019 - May 31, 2022, extended until March 31, 2023. Explain that the final feasibility study was delayed due to the Corona pandemic. State that the project partners are currently seeking suitable final funding for completion.
