Adverse Effects of Engineered Nanomaterials: Exposure Toxicology and Impact on Human Health
Second Edition provides a systematic evaluation of representative engineered nanomaterials
(ENM) of high volume production and their high economic importance. Each class of nanomaterials
discussed includes information on what scientists industry regulatory agencies and the
general public need to know about nanosafety. Written by leading international experts in
nanotoxicology and nanomedicine this book gives a comprehensive view of the health impact of
ENM focusing on their potential adverse effects in exposed workers consumers and patients.
All chapters have been updated with new sections on the endocrine system and other organ
systems. In addition other newly added sections include introductory chapters on the
physio-chemical characterization of nanomaterials and interactions between nanomaterials and
biological systems as well as a new chapter that explores risk assessment and management of
nanomaterials. This book fills an important need in terms of bridging the gap between
experimental findings and human exposure to ENM also detailing the clinical and pathological
consequences of such exposure in the human population.
