Adverse Effects of Engineered Nanomaterials
Exposure, Toxicology, and Impact on Human Health
Description
Key Features
- Multi-authored book written by leading US and European experts on nanotoxicology and nanomedicine
- Discusses the health implications and a clinical translation of experimental data in this area
- Takes a schematic, non-exhaustive approach to summarize the most important research data in this field
- Includes a glossary, with a brief explanation of the term and with a reference to where the term or phrase has been used will be included within the book
Readership
Those directly involved in the field of nanosafety, namely professionals in toxicology, pharmacology, occupational medicine, clinical medicine and nanomedicine. Workers concerned with safety in the pharmaceutics, cosmetics and public health industries, as well as policy makers developing regulatory frameworks and nanotechnology industries/enterprises
