This text presents the current knowledge of environmental colloids and includes reviews of the current understanding of structure, role and behaviour of environmental colloids and particles, whilst focussing directly on aquatic systems and soils. In addition, there is substantial critical assessment of the techniques employed for the sampling, size fractionation and characterisation of colloids and particles. Chemical, physical and biological processes and interactions involving colloids are described, and particular attention is paid to quantitative approaches that take account of particle heterogeneity and polydispersity. Presents critical reviews of the state-of-the-art knowledge of environmental colloidsCritical assessment of techniques employed for the sampling, size fractionation and characterisation of colloids and particles are givenTheoretical and experimental aspects of the methods as well as the required developments and possible recommendations are discussedEach chapter gives a brief introduction general enough for the non-specialistWritten by a internationally recognized group of contributors

An increased understanding of the environmental and human health impacts of engineered nanoparticles is essential for the responsible development of nanotechnology and appropriate evidence-based policy and guidelines for risk assessment. Presenting the latest advances in the field from a variety of scientific disciplines, this book offers a comprehensive overview of this challenging, inter-disciplinary research area. Topics covered include: The properties, preparation and applications of nanomaterialsCharacterization and analysis of manufactured nanoparticlesThe fate and behaviour of nanomaterials in aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric environmentsEcotoxicology and human toxicology of manufactured nanoparticlesOccupational health and exposure of nanomaterialsRisk assessment and global regulatory and policy responsesUnderstanding the behaviour and impacts of nanotechnology in the environment and in human health is a daunting task and many questions remain to be answered. Environmental and Human Health Impacts of Nanotechnology will serve as a valuable resource for academic researchers in nanoscience and nanotechnology, environmental science, materials science and biology, as well as for scientists in industry, regulators and policy makers.
