Summary:

Environmental Nanotechnology is the first book to assist you in both understanding the properties of new nanomaterial-centered technology and assessing the potentially harmful effects these materials may have on the environment. Written by a team of 29 leading experts from around the world, this comprehensive book presents cutting-edge coverage of the fabrication, characterization, and measurement of nanomaterials . emerging markets for nanomaterials . nanotechnologies in the energy industry . nanotechnologies for environmental quality . nanotechnology transport and fate in the environment . toxicological impacts of nanomaterials . and much more. Filled with detailed illustrations, Environmental Nanotechnology features: a- State-of-the-art techniques for the characterization and measurement of nanomaterials; b- The latest findings on the transport and fate of nanomaterials in the environment; c- Nanotechnologies for energy production, storage, and distribution; d- In-depth analyses of the ecotoxicological impacts of nanomaterials; e- New methods for developing nanomaterials with less environmental risk. -- Back cover.
