Nanotoxicology : Toxicity Evaluation, Risk Assessment and Management

Description

"The future of nanomaterials in electronics, mechanical, medical and various other industries depends up on how accurate are our nanotoxicity testing protocols and safety guidelines. This book focuses on causes and prevention of nanotoxicity induced by various nanoproducts. This book describes all these aspects of nanotoxicity critically in detail. This edited book contains five sections describing the basic principles, trends, challenges and future directions of nanotoxicity. Further, the limitations and challenges of current toxicity testing and future scope of toxicity testing of nanomaterials are discussed in detail."--Provided by publisher. Read more...
