Assessing Nanoparticle Risks to Human HealthAuthor(s): Gurumurthy Ramachandran\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: William Andrew Publishing, United States\nImprint: William Andrew Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780323353236, 978-0323353236\nSynopsis\nAssessing Nanoparticle Risks to Human Health provides a systematic overview of nanoparticle risks and considers the limitations of this paradigm in a context where extreme uncertainties prevail. As well as exploring conventional risk assessment methodology, the contributing authors investigate several alternate approaches. The adequacy of current frameworks for risk management and regulatory oversights, including corporate approaches in the US and EU, are explored, and suggestions are made as to how these frameworks can be modified to make them more efficient and effective. Presenting a coherent framework for analysis of the available information, this book presents the latest scientific understanding of the toxicity and health effects of nanoparticl.
