Toxicology of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials in Human, Terrestrial
and Aquatic Systems An indispensable compendium detailing the
toxicology of nanoparticles with a focus on mechanisms, emerging
issues, and new approaches Toxicology of Nanoparticles and
Nanomaterials in Human, Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems provides
authoritative information on the toxicology of ultrafine and
nanoparticulate matter that contaminate terrestrial or aquatic
environments and present unique challenges in applied public health
and toxicological research. Detailed chapters by a panel of
world-renowned experts examine the complementary and dynamic
interdependence of aquatic, terrestrial, and human systems and the
toxicological impacts on exposure to engineered and manufactured
nanoparticles and nanomaterials. Organized into four sections, the
book opens with a thorough overview of the field, including known
challenges and the necessity for current research activity. The
second section describes terrestrial and aquatic systems and the
ecotoxicological impact of nanomaterials, followed by critical
analysis of the many human health effects of nanomaterials. The
book concludes with an in-depth discussion of current gaps in
knowledge, future directions, new approach methodologies,
alternatives to animal models, and the emerging environmental
threat from nanoplastics. Presenting case exemplars of the
ecotoxicological impact of nanoparticles in aquatic and terrestrial
systems, this important resource: Presents in-depth coverage of
ecosafety, environmental behavior, fate and transport, interactive
effects with other contaminants, and current challenges in soil
nano-ecotoxicology Addresses rising concerns regarding air
pollution and neurological disorders, and the roles played by the
gastrointestinal system, the mucosal microbiome, and the
immunotoxicology and vasculotoxicity of metal-based nanoparticles
Provides detailed coverage of nanomaterial health effects from both
animal and in vitro models, including the gut microbiome, innate
immunity, neurological and cardiovascular impacts, mechanisms of
action, and hazard characterization Analyzes key topics in
ecological nanotoxicology such as environmental micro- and
nano-plastic pollution and applied risk assessment Toxicology of
Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials in Human, Terrestrial and Aquatic
Systems is essential reading for toxicologists, applied biologists,
ecotoxicologists, research scientists, medical professionals,
regulators, and advanced students in fields such as public health,
environmental ecotoxicology and medicine, immunotoxicology,
neurotoxicology, cardiovascular and systems biology, hazard
identification, and risk assessment.
