The first edition of "Health and Environmental Safety of Nanomaterials: Polymer Nanocomposites and Other Materials Containing Nanoparticles" was published in 2014, marking a significant milestone in the field of nanomaterials safety. However, since then, remarkable advancements have emerged, both in terms of nanomaterial release and exposure, as well as the expanding applications of these materials. Researchers have dedicated substantial efforts to understanding the biophysical interactions of nanoparticles with the human body at various levels, including the organ, cellular, and molecular scales.

In response to these evolving needs, this second edition of the book has been thoroughly revised and updated. All chapters have been meticulously revised to reflect the latest developments in the field. Additionally, four brand new chapters have been included, covering crucial topics such as the biophysical interaction of nanoparticles with the human body, advanced modeling approaches to assess nanorisk, safety measures in workplaces involving nanoparticles, and the health and environmental risks associated with graphene.

This comprehensive resource is designed to meet the knowledge and information requirements of professionals working in the research and development sector who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the safety concerns associated with nanomaterials. It provides essential insights and guidance on the latest safety protocols, risk assessment methodologies, and regulatory frameworks related to nanomaterials. By presenting a balanced and comprehensive perspective, this book serves as a valuable tool for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and anyone else interested in advancing the responsible and sustainable development of nanotechnology.
