Synopsis: This volume provides an overviewof the determinants of the release of and exposure to airborne nanoparticles. Whetherintentionally manufactured or unintentionally generated during industrial processes,the release of nanoparticles can result in significant worker exposure, whichmust be dealt with adequately by means of dedicated risk assessments to ensureworkplace health and safety. The book extensively discusses a number ofmeasurement and modelling strategies available for this purpose. It also reviewsthe health hazardous potential of nano-sized particles and fibres, and follows theflow of engineered nanomaterials from production and use to disposal and theenvironment. It appeals to a wide readership, from specialists already workingin the field to newcomers aiming to gain insights into this topic.
