Kumar C. (Ed.). Nanomaterials - Toxicity, Health and Environmental Issues. Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences. Volume 5
Wiley, 2006. - 346 p. - Offering a unique overview of
nanoparticle-related environmental risks depending on particle type
and exposed surroundings, this volume brings together both medical
and nanotechnological aspects. The book adopts an in-depth approach
to toxicology from both particle size as well as particle nature,
covering all important nanomaterial classes: carbon materials,
polymers, metals, and metal oxides. Clearly structured, the text is
careful to address the effects on human physiology, air, water and
the general environment.
