Beskrivning
Nanotoxicology for Agricultural and Environmental Applications provides an introduction to nanotechnology and its applications in agriculture and the environment. This reference, especially focused on the role of each physicochemical property of nanomaterials in toxicity, also presents a consolidated discussion on the management of the risks associated with nanoparticle use and rules and regulations made by various countries and organizations around the world.

Structured into five parts, this book explores nanotoxicity concerning agriculture and food, its impact on the environment, risk management measures for avoiding exposure, and delves into the realm of nanotechnology regulations. Students, practitioners, and researchers working in plant science, agricultural science, nanoscience, and environmental chemistry alike will benefit from this necessary reference.

  • Highlights the factors contributing to toxic effects of nanoparticles, including shape, size, structure, surface charge, and dosage
  • Explores the mode of action and entry of nanoparticles, methods of toxicity evaluation, and the associated challenges
  • Describes recent developments in nanotoxicity to soil ecosystems, crop plants, and food systems
  • Emphasizes the impact of nanoparticles and their detoxification by plants on the nutritional quality of food and plants
  • Discusses the impact of toxicity of nanoparticles released in air, soil, and water and methods to reduce their effects

Mahendra Rai is an internationally recognized scholar with extensive contributions to microbial biotechnology and nanobiotechnology research, particularly in the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using fungi and their application as nano‑antimicrobials. His work is highly interdisciplinary, bridging microbiology, biotechnology, and nanoscience, and he is an active member of several scientific societies. He has received multiple national and international distinctions, including the Father T.A. Mathias Award from the All-India Association for Christian Higher Education and the Medini Award from the Government of India. Professor Rai has also held numerous visiting scientist and visiting professor positions across Europe, South America, and Asia, contributing to long‑standing research collaborations in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and the United States. His sustained academic impact is reflected in his inclusion among the global top 2% of scientists in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and recognition as one of India’s leading researchers in biology and biochemistry, including a Biology and Biochemistry India Leader Award from Research.com. Dr. Indarchand R. Gupta completed his Masters in the subject of Biotechnology in the year 2004, and Ph.D. in the year 2020 under the supervision of Professor Mahendra Rai at the Department of Biotechnology, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati, India. Presently he is working as Assistant Professor at Government Institute of Science, Aurangabad, India. His area of interest is nano-toxicology and animal cell culture. His study is mainly focused on in vitro cytotoxicity assessment of silver nanoparticles on different animal cell models. He has published over 35 research articles and book chapters. For his research work he has been awarded by ‘ASIO 2016 International Toxicologist Travel Award’ by Association of Scientists of Indian Origin, a regional chapter of Society of Toxicology, USA.
