Advances in Toxicology and Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials and Emerging Contaminants

This book details the state-of-the-art methodological advances for delineating the toxicology and working mechanisms of nanomaterials, microplastics, fine aerosol particulates (PM2.5) as well as emerging organic pollutants. It also provides latest computational approaches for toxicity prediction and risk assessment of nanoscale materials which possess realistic chances to enter the environment and human organism. Written by leading scientists at the frontiers of environmental science and nanomedicine, this book is intended for both young researchers and experienced professionals working in the fields of environmental protection, human health and occupational safety, nanotechnology, material science and nanomedicine, as well as graduate students majoring in environmental and health sciences.

Introduces most recent methodological advances in toxicology of nanomaterials, microplastics, and organic pollutants

Summarizes the information on risk assessment of emerging contaminants and application of models

Proposes toxicology as a useful tool in the development of novel materials in environmental and medical applications
