Assessing Nanoparticle Risks to Human Health provides a systematic
overview of nanoparticle risks and considers the limitations of
this paradigm in a context where extreme uncertainties prevail. As
well as exploring conventional risk assessment methodology, the
contributing authors investigate several alternate approaches. The
adequacy of current frameworks for risk management and regulatory
oversights, including corporate approaches in the US and EU, are
explored, and suggestions are made as to how these frameworks can
be modified to make them more efficient and effective. Presenting a
coherent framework for analysis of the available information, this
book presents the latest scientific understanding of the toxicity
and health effects of nanoparticles, the technical issues relating
to exposure assessment and management, and the ways in which the
current risk paradigm can be used/modified to deal with the
challenges of nanoparticle risks. All chapters of this new edition
have been thoroughly updated to reflect the many changes in the
field since the first edition. Additions and updates in the second
edition of the book include: New exposure assessment strategies for
nanomaterials including life cycle exposure assessment approaches
and detailed information on nanoparticle exposure control and
protection in the workplace. A state-of-the-art scientific update
on the hazard and risk assessment of nanomaterials: discussion of
key additional publications on the toxicology and biokinetics of
nanomaterials; available data and methods to characterize the
health hazard and risk of exposure to nanomaterials in the
workplace; additional examples of the use of such data and methods
to develop occupational safety and health guidance; and discussion
of progress to date, ongoing efforts, and remaining challenges in
nanomaterials hazard and risk characterization. New studies on the
use of expert judgment in nanotechnology. Quantitative data from
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 4-phase study. A
description and evaluation of new CB tools and new ISO technical
specifications. A comprehensive update of the legal frameworks in
the US and the EU. With the second edition of Assessing
Nanoparticle Risks to Human Health Prof. Ramachandran provides
researchers and practitioners producing or using nanoparticles, or
those involved in nanomaterials risk assessments, technology,
health science, policy, safety, environment and regulatory aspects
an invaluable reference to adopt the right technologies and
strategies and to comply to legal frameworks and regulations. For
policy makers and advisory firms it provides the knowledge needed
to advise on compliance with or development of new regulations on
nanomaterials.
