Beschreibung
An increased understanding of the environmental and human healthimpacts of engineered nanoparticles is essential for theresponsible development of nanotechnology and appropriateevidence-based policy and guidelines for risk assessment.Presenting the latest advances in the field from a variety ofscientific disciplines, this book offers a comprehensive overviewof this challenging, inter-disciplinary research area.
Topics covered include:
* The properties, preparation and applications ofnanomaterials
* Characterization and analysis of manufacturednanoparticles
* The fate and behaviour of nanomaterials in aquatic, terrestrialand atmospheric environments
* Ecotoxicology and human toxicology of manufacturednanoparticles
* Occupational health and exposure of nanomaterials
* Risk assessment and global regulatory and policy responses
Understanding the behaviour and impacts of nanotechnology in theenvironment and in human health is a daunting task and manyquestions remain to be answered. Environmental and Human HealthImpacts of Nanotechnology will serve as a valuable resource foracademic researchers in nanoscience and nanotechnology,environmental science, materials science and biology, as well asfor scientists in industry, regulators and policy makers.
