Tungkol sa ebook na ito

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.
