About this ebook
Nanotechnology is considered a tool for solving problems and providing comfort for the livelihood of human beings and other animals. The use of nanoparticles in the last decade has grown rapidly and is currently used often. Nanotechnology can improve agricultural processes, such as soil quality and the quality of agricultural products, and provide specific applications for sustainable development. However, there are consequences of using these nanoparticles in today’s agriculture. The physicochemical properties of nanoparticles are the basis for several useful applications but also affect humans and ecosystems adversely. A new branch of toxicology, nanotoxicology, needs to address the specific problems caused by nanoparticles.
Implications of Nanoecotoxicology on Environmental Sustainability provides relevant theoretical and practical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings on nanotechnology and its implications. It discusses these consequences in further detail and presents the research findings conducted to make this technology useful and sustainable for the future. Covering topics such as green synthesis, nanofertilizers, and toxicity analysis, this premier reference source is an indispensable resource for toxicologists, nanoscientists, agriculturalists, pharmacists, medical professionals, environmental engineers, environmental scientists, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
