Engineered nanoparticles : review of health and environmental needs

This report, published by a consortium lead by the Edinburgh Napier University and the Institute of Occupational Medicine, provides an authoritative review of the health and environmental safety of engineered nanomaterials. The report covers the health and environmental safety of fullerenes,carbon nanotubes, and medal and metal oxide nanomaterials, including sources, pathways of exposure, and the health and environmental outcomes of concern. The report focuses on the state-of-the-art use of these materials in the field, and provides information to inform the regulation of the potential risks of these materials.
