The application of nanotechnology in different consumer products has delivered new products with highly desirable properties, but at the same time has opened a new window for a wide group of emerging contaminants and a new type of human exposure that needs to be assessed. This is one of the first books covering the analysis and ecotoxicological evaluation of nanomaterials in food and environmental matrices, with both matrices being of considerable interest because of human exposure and the environmental risks. Most of the current human toxicological information on nanomaterials comes from nano-sized particles in air and their effects via inhalation. Other routes of human exposure, such as water or food, and their effects on human health and the environment, are less studied but it is a growing research area where there has been much activity in recent years. This book provides a global summary of recent research.
