Fundamentals of Nanotoxicology: Concepts and Applications provides an outline to fundamental concepts of nanotoxicology and their applications. The book opens historical oversights on nanotechnology, terminology, comparison of nanomaterial sizes, and an overview of regulations. It then goes on to cover types, classifications, sources and properties. It also delves into mechanisms of toxicity as well as health and safety assessments. Biomedical, agricultural, and food applications are explored, and ecotoxicology and the environmental impact on nanomaterials rounds out the book’s overview of this topic.

This book will be a helpful resource for understanding concepts and current knowledge to academics, advanced students, and researchers interested in entering or learning more about this interdisciplinary field of study.

PK Gupta obtained his PhD in Toxicology and taught as Visiting Professor at both the University of Tennessee and West Virginia University in the United States before returning to India as Professor of Toxicology at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute. He is currently Director of the Toxicology Consulting Group and President of the Academy of Sciences for Animal Welfare. He has served as advisor to the World Health Organization, consultant to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, and brings more than 50 years of expertise in animal toxicology to the project.
