Description for Nanotoxicity
Nanomaterials - substances smaller than 100 nanometers in size - have been added in recent years to an increasing numbers of consumer products used in day-to-day life; in food packaging, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, odor-resistant textiles and household appliances. Editor(s): Sahu, Saura C.; Casciano, Daniel A. Num Pages: 630 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: MMGT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 249 x 175 x 40. Weight in Grams: 1180.
Nanomaterials - substances smaller than 100 nanometers in size - have been added in recent years to an increasing numbers of consumer products used in day-to-day life; in food packaging, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, odor-resistant textiles and household appliances. The extensive application of nanomaterials in a wide range of products for human use poses a potential for toxicity risk to human health and the environment. Such adverse effects of nanomaterials on human health have triggered the development of a new scientific discipline known as “nanotoxicity” – the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials.

Reviews for Nanotoxicity
"I can certainly envisage this book being used widely. Indeed, an excellent and most timely book, clearly written, and sensitively related to nano; above all, it really 'speaks' to the realities of nanotoxicity. An additional bonus.....an important one at that.... Is .the list of references cited at the end of every contribution that must make the acquisition of the volume ... Read more
