Nanotechnology is a new and emerging discipline that is
multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. The usage of nanosystems,
nanomaterials, nano-devices, etc. permeates all aspects of society.
Cancer targeting and curing nanosystems are being introduced into
the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries; so are lightweight
energy absorbing or blast-proof nanohybrid material in the
aerospace, automotive and marine industries and high-efficiency
energy harvesting nanomaterials, etc. Society has a vested interest
in knowing how these new materials, devices and systems are
changing the economy and similar landscapes. The book outlines the
regulatory and environmental issues related to nanotechnology per
industry, offers guidelines in assessing the risks and discusses
the legal and socioeconomical issues involved. Case studies will be
utilized to provide examples of the positive and negative impacts
of nanotechnology.
Provides an overview and the basis for understanding the
critical importance of the reactivity and efficacy of nanomaterials
and the emerging role of nanotechnology in societyExplains the
fundamentals, ethics, regulatory and environmental issues of
nanosafety and how they shape the emerging nanotechnology industry
and markets and includes extensive lists of glossary terms,
terminologies and concepts needed for Material Data Safety
SheetsDiscusses the relevance and specificity of nanosafety issues
per industry and includes discussions on the "Homeland Security and
Infrastructure Industries" of interest to society in
generalIncludes nanotechnology risk assessment and delineates and
quantifies the risk assessment process for nanotechnology safety of
paramount importance to most industries and systemsOutlines the
legal and intellectual property ramifications of nanotechnology and
its impact on productivity and society
