_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 worldwide
* Reviews toxicological studies and industrial initiatives, supported
by numerous case studies
* Includes extensive new material on the implications of
nanotechnology for medicine, energy and food, as well as assessing
future threats.
