The chapters are authored by leaders in their respective fields, providing thorough analysis of their research areas. The diverse spectrum of topics include nanotechnology EHS issues, financial implications, foreseeable risks including exposure, dosage and hazards, and the implications of occupational hygiene precautions and consumer protections.
The book includes real-world case studies, wherever practical, to illustrate specific issues and scenarios encountered by stakeholders positioned on the front-lines of nanotechnology-enabled industries. These case studies will appeal to, and resonate with, laboratory scientists, business leaders, regulators, service providers, and postgraduate researchers.
- Reviews toxicological studies and industrial initiatives, supported by numerous case studies
- Covers new generation of nanoparticles and significantly expands on existing material from second edition
- Only edited volume to collect research on the regulatory and risk implications of a wide array of industrial, environmental and consumer nanomaterials
Academic and federal laboratory researchers; state and federal regulators; emerging nanotechnology business executives; risk managers and insurance professionals; legislators; safety professionals; toxicologists; venture capitalists; academics and postgraduate students in engineering, public health, geoscience, environmental science, and chemistry
