About the Book
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. The rapid pace of innovation in nanotechnology has posed a greater risk over health and environment demanding a need for responsible development, relevant policy framework and risk assessment guidelines. This book offers a comprehensive ovcerview of this challenging, inter-disciplinary research area. This book is an authoritative, in-depth exploration of the environmental consequences of nanotechnology. It provides a detailed account of the potential environmental benefits of nanotechnology, describing environmental technologies as well as other applications that can foster sustainable use of resources. The book will make fascinating and useful reading for engineers, scientists, administrators, environmental regulatory officials, public policy makers, and students in a range of science and engineering disciplines.
Contents: 1. Nanotechnology and the Environment, 2. Nanotechnology and Renewable Energy, 3. Chemical Synthesis of Nanoparticles, 4. Natural Nanomaterials, 5. Nano-Based WastewaterTreatmentTechnology.
Hazell Marshall Ph.D., is a professor of Environmental Engineering and former director of the Environmental & Energy Systems Institute. His research pioneered the applications of nonmaterials to membrane science and water treatment and an examination of the possible risks posed by these materials to human health and the environment. He is also the head of France's Geosciences and Environmental Laboratory. He specializes in the physical chemistry of organic, inorganic, and Environmental Nanotechnology. He is coauthor of Encyclopedia of Environmental Science, Environmental Activists, and Teen Guides to Environmental Science, all available from Greenwood.
