The usage of nanosystems, nanomaterials, nano-devices, etc. permeates all aspects of society. Cancer targeting and curing nanosystems are used in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries; so are lightweight energy absorbing or blast-proof nanohybrid materials in the aerospace, automotive and marine industries, and high efficiency energy harvesting nanomaterials, etc. Nanotechnology Safety second edition continues to outline the safety, regulatory and environmental issues related to nanotechnology per industry, offering guidelines in assessing the risks, and discusses the legal and social-economical issues involved in order to help you to use in full all the capabilities of this technology in compliance with the current safety regulations. This new edition is fully revised and updated and provides in-depth information regarding new and current nanomaterials, their industrial applications, toxicity levels and protections systems in various fields. Nanotechnology Safety Second Edition remains an indispensable resource for academia and industries, providing detailed information on recent processes and nanosystems, the latest information about nanomanufacturing and their products for various industries, and information about legislative policies of nanomaterials, waste stream classifications, safety goals, processing facilities and market developments for new products. The book provides engineers, scientists, teachers, students, technicians, and policy makers with a general guide and information for future studies and manufacturing of nanomaterials. Fully revised and updated new edition featuring new toxicity studies of nanomaterials, their impact in many industries, and providing future trends in nanomaterials and nanosafety and their emerging role in societyExplains the fundamentals, ethics, regulatory and environmental issues of nanosafety and how they shape the emerging nanotechnology industry and markets Includes extensive lists of glossary terms, terminologies and concepts needed for Material Data Safety SheetsDiscusses the relevance and specificity of nanosafety issues per industry and includes discussions on the Homeland Security and Infrastructure Industries of interest to society in generalIncludes nanotechnology risk assessment and delineates and quantifies the risk assessment process for nanotechnology safety of paramount importance to most industries and systemsOutlines the legal and intellectual property ramifications of nanotechnology and its impact on productivity and society INDICE: 1.
