From the reviews: "I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in nanotechnology in general and in environmental aspects of nanotechnology in particular. ... Its contents could be useful to Master and Ph.D. students working in nanotechnology. It should also be very interesting to scientists working in both nanotechnology and environmental science and technology. It is a good reference book, and will support those involved in the production of nanomaterials for a variety of purposes and those involved in maintaining the quality of water."
