Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology can be broadly described as developing or exploiting products at nanometer dimensions (i.e. as having one dimension less than 100 nanometers). Such materials have a larger surface area to volume ratio than conventional materials which provides them with an increased level of reactivity, and consequently, toxicity per unit mass. This book sets the subject into context by describing the current range of products containing nano-materials and then looking at the consequences for the environment and human health relating to the introduction of nanoparticles and nano-tubes. This book discusses some of the more controversial issues associated with the field including nanoparticles in the environment, occupational exposure, toxicological properties, human health issues and safety.
