primary obstacle to achieving this goal will be to control, reduce, and ultimately eliminate the environmental and related problems associated with nanotechnology, or dilemmas that develop through its misuse. Stronger and more flexible than steel, yet measuring about 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of human hair, these cylindrical sheets of carbon atoms are useful as coatings on computers and other electrical devices despite their ability to conduct heat and electricity.

commend Theodore and Kunz for embracing the challenges that come with exploring environmental opportunities of nanotechnology and the ways to pursue and mitigate the potential dangers ahead. Stronger and more flexible than steel, yet measuring about 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of human hair, these cylindrical sheets of carbon atoms are useful as coatings on computers and other electrical devices despite their ability to conduct heat and electricity.

Stronger and more flexible than steel, yet measuring about 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of human hair, these cylindrical sheets of carbon atoms are useful as coatings on computers and other electrical devices despite their ability to conduct heat and electricity. Carbon nanotubes, for instance, discovered in the sooty residue of vaporized carbon rods, defy standard physics.

If theres one point that authors drive home, its that nanotechnology will revolutionize the way industry operates, creating chemical processes and products that are more efficient and less expensive. primary obstacle to achieving this goal will be to control, reduce, and ultimately eliminate the environmental and related problems associated with nanotechnology, or dilemmas that develop through its misuse. Breaking new ground, the authors present data generated with highefficiency control devices baghouses, electrostatic precipitators, and venturi scrubbers in which particles in the submicron regime were collected with percent efficiency.

As an editor with Chemical Engineering Progress, the flagship publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers New York, New York www. aiche. org, have followed the topic closely, bearing witness to its ability to solve environmental problems, monitor cellular metabolism, deliver drugs to inaccessible parts of the body, strengthen polymers, render inert materials violently reactive, and onceimpossible chemical reactions to occur. When Lou Theodore and Bob Kunz approached me about writing the foreword to their book on environmental nanotechnology, was both surprised and honored.

But entrepreneurs are considering thinking small. Nanotechnology uses particles 80,000 times smaller than human hair yet the new technology has the potential to quickly clean up pollution, cure serious illnesses, and make the computer silicon chip obsolete. Therefore EPA has awarded grants totaling 7. 34 million to universities to investigate potential adverse health and environmental effects of manufactured nanomaterials.. While EPA looks forward to new environmental breakthroughs, the Agencys first commitment is to protect human health and the environment.

Washington, Nanotechnology uses particles 80,000 times smaller than human hair yet the new technology has the potential to quickly clean up pollution, cure serious illnesses, and make the computer silicon chip obsolete.

KunzHoboken, NJJohn Wiley & Sons, Although Occupational Safety and Health to develop monitoring tools and toxicity data for nanosized materials is absent from this section. Because much of the information currently known about nanosized particles comes from air pollution and inhalation toxicology, the section on air pollution is more robust than other chapters in terms of nanoimplications. The exception is Chapter 2, which covers basic chemistry and various processes used in making nanosized materials.

But the section contains some inaccuracies. When particle concentrations increase, they can quickly aggregate and behave like largersized particles. However, the book does not mention several recent rulings stating that the nanosized materials are not considered different from bulk until or unless they receive their own Chemical Abstracts Service numbers, and therefore of the legislation does not apply to these materials. ISBN 0471699764, 99. 95 clothThis book, written mainly for engineering students, gives an excellent summary of traditional environmental pollution issues.

The water and solidwaste issues multimedia analysis both health and hazard risk assessment ethical considerations and concluding remarks on future trends. Nanotechnology is emerging in wide variety of applications, yet unfortunately very little is known about the environmental implications of engineered nanomaterials, of possible ways to handle engineered nanomaterials as environmental pollutants, or of how nanomaterials behave in the environment when used for remediation. With few toxicity or exposure data available, the risk assessment and hazard assessment sections focus on traditional toxicants as case studiesa good foundation for future engineers dealing with the emerging risks and hazards of nanotechnology.

Other inaccuracies include the statement that there is no information on deposition of nanosized particles in the respiratory tract, and repeated misuse of terms such as particulate versus particle. However, these inaccuracies do not distract from the otherwise thorough discussions of pollution issues that introduce the interested engineer to ecotoxicology. ISBN 0471699764, 99. 95 clothThis book, written mainly for engineering students, gives an excellent summary of traditional environmental pollution issues.

chapter on ethics presents several fictional scenarios, useful in classroom discussions on environmental ethics and the role of environmental engineers in monitoring and responsible whistle blowing. Overall, the books good overview of traditional bulk toxicants serves as background for potential nanosized material problems. The authors assume that nanosized materials behave as gaseswhich is true only for very small particles < nm.
