"Nanotechnology Environmental Health and Safety, Second Edition"
focuses not only on the impact of nanotechnology and the discipline
of nanotoxicity, but also explains each of these disciplines
through in the context of management requirements and via risk
scenarios providing an overview of regulation, risk management, and
exposure. Contributors thoroughly explain environmental health and
safety (EHS) issues, financial implications, foreseeable risks
(e.g., exposure, dose, hazards of nanomaterials), occupational
hygiene, and consumer protection.
Key new chapters have been included covering eco-toxicity,
nanomedicine, informatics, and future threats. New case studies
have also been added, including a chapter on the impact of
nanosilver on the environment, as well as an assessment of how well
lessons have been learned from the past, such as in the case of
asbestos. The book also makes a business case for the importance of
proactive EHS management - essential reading for existing or
prospective producers of nanoscale products.
Practical guidance on risk management and mitigation across
different legislative frameworks worldwideReviews toxicological
studies and industrial initiatives, supported by numerous case
studiesIncludes extensive newmaterial on the implications of
nanotechnology for medicine, energy and food, as well as assessing
future threats."
