Nanotechnology: Consequences for Human Health and the Environment

This volume provides comprehensive coverage of the current issues concerning engineered nanoparticles and offers a broad overview of the sources, behavior and risks associated with nanotechnology. Coverage first describes the current range of products containing nano-materials and then looks at the consequences for the environment and human health for the introduction of nanoparticles and nano-tubes. emerging nanotechnologies, scanning mobility particle sizer, aerosol science, strategic research framework, occurring nanoparticles, engineered nanoparticles, airborne nanoparticles, nanostructured particles, engineered nanomaterials, mobility diameter, aerosol surface area, diesel exhaust particles, particle number concentrations, active surface area, ambient particles, aerosol size distribution, geometric surface area, natural aquatic systems, ultrafine particles
