Toxicity of Nanomaterials: Environmental and Healthcare Applications
Editat de Suresh Pillai, Yvonne Langen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 mai 2019
This comprehensive book, edited by two leading experts in nanotechnology and bioengineering with contributions from a global team of specialists, provides a detailed overview of the environmental and health impacts associated with the toxicology of nanomaterials.
Special attention is given to nanomaterial toxicity during synthesis, production and application, and chapters throughout are focused on key areas that are important for future research and development of nanomaterials. This book will be of interest to advanced students studying biomedical engineering and materials science, PhD researchers, post-docs and academics working in the area of nanotechnology, medicine, manufacturing and regulatory bodies.
Features:
- Collates and critically evaluates various aspects of the toxicology of nanomaterials in one comprehensive text
- Discusses the various effects of nanocrystals including the morphologies on cytotoxicity, in addition to the environmental and cytotoxicity risks of graphene and 2D nanomaterials
- Explores practical methods of detection and quantification, with applications in the environmental and healthcare fields

Recenzii
"This multiauthor volume offers a compilation of quality essays edited to furnish a comprehensive overview of the toxicological and environmental impact of nanomaterials. Significant emphasis is placed on the morphology of nanomaterials and the potential for toxicity to emerge during their synthesis and application. The essays are well written and easy to read despite the exhaustively referenced scientific and technical knowledge represented by their content. They cover much ground while emphasizing fundamental concepts and approaches to assessing and evaluating nanomaterials for their toxicity and impact on health. This book ought not, however, to be treated as a textbook in the usual sense, as a considerable foundation in nanotechnology, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and cellular biology will be essential for a reader to fully benefit from working through its content. The volume will be of greatest interest to advanced graduate students, scholars, and researchers at the doctoral or post-doctoral level working in the fields of nanotechnology, bioengineering, or medicine.
Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals"
