Safety of nanomaterials along their lifecycle : release, exposure, and human hazards

"Billions of dollars in public funding have been spent on novel nanomaterials, and the resulting products are entering the consumer world now: new paints and coatings; electric cars powered by nanomaterials in the battery, chassis, and tires; new renewable energy sources, to name a few. But contrary to other disrupting technologies such as nuclear energy or genetics, the scientific community has started to investigate the risks associated with novel nanomaterials early in the development phase. Although there are still gaps in our knowledge of the risks presented by nanomaterials, we now know enough to describe scenarios that are too high-risk to implement as well as scenarios for the safe use of nanomaterials. The goal of this book is to help the reader in making such safely decisions"--

  • "The incorporation of nanomaterials into products can improve performance, efficiency, and durability in various fields ranging from construction, energy management, catalysis, microelectronics, plastics, coatings, and paints to consumer articles such as foods and cosmetics. But innovation never comes at zero risk. The potential hazards resulting from human exposure during production, use, or disposal has raised concerns and targeted research early on. Safety of Nanomaterials along Their Lifecycle: Release, Exposure, and Human Hazards presents the state of the art in nanosafety research from a."@en
