Nanomaterials are of varying chemical complexity (bulk and surface), size, shape, and phase. Therefore, there exist large challenges in understanding the environmental health and safety of nanomaterials, and truly interdisciplinary efforts are needed. This book reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the research on the environmental and health impacts of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Chapter authors come from a variety of disciplines including chemical engineering, chemistry, civil and environmental engineering, environmental microbiology, geoscience, occupational and environmental health, pathology, pharmacology, and plant and soil science. The research described herein represents a compilation of some of the most recent studies and the current state of the science of the environmental and health impacts of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The book is divided into three parts as shown below.
