Описание:

Nanomaterials– substances smaller than 100 nanometers in size – have been added in recent years to an increasing numbers of consumer products used in day–to–day life; in food packaging, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, odor–resistant textiles and household appliances. The extensive application of nanomaterials in a wide range of products for human use poses a potential for toxicity risk to human health and the environment. Such adverse effects of nanomaterials on human health have triggered the development of a new scientific discipline known as “nanotoxicity” – the study of thetoxicity of nanomaterials. Nanotoxicity: From in vivo and in vitro Models to Health Risks provides up–to–date state–of–the–art information presented by recognized experts in this emerging new field in toxicology. It discusses the safety evaluation of nanomaterials in foods, drugs, medicaldevices, cosmetics and other regulated products and its use in risk analysis...
