Nanomaterials' unique properties offer revolutionary means to
optimize a variety of products, including electronics, textiles,
paintings and coatings, pharmaceuticals, and personal care
products. However, these same properties mean that nanoscale
materials can behave differently in the human body and the
environment than conventional materials.
Nanotechnology and the Environment provides the fundamental
basis needed to assess and understand the life cycle of
nanomaterials. It begins with a general explanation of
nanomaterials, their properties, and their uses and describes the
processes used to manufacture nanoscale materials. Subsequent
chapters furnish information on the analysis of nanomaterials in
the environment and their fate and transport, including the effects
of wastewater treatment on nanomaterials. The book discusses
possible risks to human health and the environment and the
environment, and describes developing regulations to manage those
risks.
Given the potential risks, the book explores the apparent
paradox of using nanomaterials in environmental remediation. The
final chapter discusses frameworks for evaluating the balance
between risk and reward as nanomaterials are manufactured, used and
released to the environment.
