Handbook of Functionalized Nanomaterials: Environmental Health and
Safety discusses the reactive properties of FNMs used in a range of
applications, and their toxic impact on the environment.
Nanomaterials have unique properties that can make them highly
reactive. This reactivity can cause unwanted interactions with
living cells, an increase in oxidative stress or damage to genetic
material - resulting in damage to the environment and local
wildlife. This negative impact is often further increased after
surface functionalization of nanomaterials with other materials
which offer unique properties of their own. To ensure environmental
safety and ecological balance, rigorous toxicity testing of
functionalized nanomaterials (FNMs) is necessary. This book
discusses the toxicological uncertainties of FNMs and the
limitations of FNMs in a range of applications. Later chapters
propose methods to reliably assess the harm that functionalized
nanomaterials can cause to the environment and wildlife, as well
covering recent developments in the field of environmental health
safety. The book concludes with a discussion on the future
prospects of safe functionalized nanomaterials.
