Published as part of Elsevier's series, Nanobiotechnology for Plant Protection, Nanotoxicology for Agricultural and Environmental Applications provides an introduction to nanotechnology and its applications in agriculture and the environment.Divided into five parts, this book addresses nanotechnology and regulations, nanotoxicity, nanotoxicity to agriculture and food, nanotoxicity to the environment, and risk management measures to avoid exposure.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
