An increased understanding of the environmental and human health
impacts of engineered nanoparticles is essential for the
responsible development of nanotechnology and appropriate
evidence-based policy and guidelines for risk assessment.
Presenting the latest advances in the field from a variety of
scientific disciplines, this book offers a comprehensive overview
of this challenging, inter-disciplinary research area.
Topics covered include:
* The properties, preparation and applications of
nanomaterials
* Characterization and analysis of manufactured
nanoparticles
* The fate and behaviour of nanomaterials in aquatic, terrestrial
and atmospheric environments
* Ecotoxicology and human toxicology of manufactured
nanoparticles
* Occupational health and exposure of nanomaterials
* Risk assessment and global regulatory and policy responses
Understanding the behaviour and impacts of nanotechnology in the
environment and in human health is a daunting task and many
questions remain to be answered. Environmental and Human Health
Impacts of Nanotechnology will serve as a valuable resource for
academic researchers in nanoscience and nanotechnology,
environmental science, materials science and biology, as well as
for scientists in industry, regulators and policy makers.
