| Synopsis: |
Nanomaterials in Plants, Algae and Micro-organisms: Concepts and Controversies: Volume 1 covers all the new technologies used in the synthesis of nanoparticles and then tests their response on plants, algae, and micro-organisms in aquatic ecosystems. Unlike most works in the field, the book doesn't focus exclusively on the higher organisms; instead, it explores the smaller life forms on which they feed. Topics include the impacts of plant development, how different nanoparticles are absorbed by biota, the impact different metals-including silver and rare earth metals-have on living organisms, as well as the effects nanoparticles can have on aquatic ecosystems as a whole. Nanotechnology based products have become a trillion-dollar industry and a vast amount of related matter has been and continues to be released into the environment in a relatively short amount of time. There is a need to understand what the implications to the health of our biota and ecosystems are as the earth is increasingly inundated with these materials. Not all of the effects are negative, but their impacts are increasing exponentially due to their size, quantity, and other factors. |
