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.
