This tutorial describes the potential and actual environmental risks arising from the interaction of nanomaterials with the environment. The analysis was made on the basis of the experimental study of nanomaterials migration and routes while penetrating into the ecosystem (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere), physico-chemical properties of nanosized sols, as well as research in the field of toxicology and ecotoxicology of nanomaterials in their interaction with plants, soil, invertebrates and mammals. Special attention is paid to issues of penetration, migration and removal of nanoparticles from the human body.
The authors formulate general conclusions and list perspective areas of research in the field of environmental of nanomaterials.
The book is intended for teachers and students specializing in the development and application of nanotechnology.
