The widespread and increasing use of carbon nanotubes in scientific
and engineering research and their incorporation into manufactured
goods has urged an assessment of the risks and hazards associated
with exposure to them. The field of nanotoxicology studies the
toxicology of nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes and has become
a major growth area aimed towards risk assessment of nanoparticles.
Compiled by a team of leading experts at the forefront of research,
this is the first book dedicated to the toxicology of carbon
nanotubes. It provides state-of-the-science information on how and
why they are so potentially dangerous if breathed in, including
their similarities to asbestos. The book examines various aspects
of carbon nanotubes, from their manufacture and aerodynamic
behaviour to their effects at molecular level in the lungs. It is
invaluable to the many groups involved with research in this area,
as well as to regulators and risk assessors.
