Analysis and Risk of Nanomaterials in Environmental and Food Samples

Klappentext The application of nanotechnology in different consumer products has delivered new products with highly desirable properties! but at the same time has opened a new window for a wide group of emerging contaminants and a new type of human exposure that needs to be assessed. This is one of the first books covering the analysis and ecotoxicological evaluation of nanomaterials in food and environmental matrices! with both matrices being of considerable interest because of human exposure and the environmental risks. Most of the current human toxicological information on nanomaterials comes from nano-sized particles in air and their effects via inhalation. Other routes of human exposure! such as water or food! and their effects on human health and the environment! are less studied but it is a growing research area where there has been much activity in recent years. This book provides a global summary of recent research. "I highly recommend this book to everyone interested in the environmental and analytical aspects of NM and NP. It is a comprehensive and stimulating book rich in references to literature."--Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, July 26, 2013 Zusammenfassung Covers ecotoxicological evaluation of nanomaterials in food and the environment! with both matrices being of considerable interest. This title shows how used chromatographic and spectroscopic methods can be added to the analytical arsenal of microscopic techniques that have commonly been used to characterize nanomaterials.
