Like the last Industrial Revolution, the nanotechnology revolution is likely to affect our environment. This volume provides a fundamental exploration of the properties of nanoscale materials, their fate and transport in the environment and in wastewater, and the implications for worker safety and the environment. Presenting a comprehensive overview of developing environmental regulations, this text also discusses the current and potential use of nanomaterials for environmental remediation. A focus on six common nanomaterials offers a cohesive exposure of the most critical issues associated with nanotechnology, along with the framework for readers to understand and apply the information.
