From the reviews: "This book deals with the main issues of nowadays debate about nanomaterials. It encompasses the papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on 'Nanomaterials: environmental risks and benefits and emerging consumer products' held in Faro, Portugal, April 2008. ... In conclusion, we highly recommend the book to all scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders addressing the environmental and toxicological implications of nanomaterials."
