Produktbeschreibung
This book details the state-of-the-art methodological advances for delineating the toxicology and working mechanisms of nanomaterials, microplastics, fine aerosol particulates (PM2.5) as well as emerging organic pollutants. It also provides latest computational approaches for toxicity prediction and risk assessment of nanoscale materials which possess realistic chances to enter the environment and human organism. Written by leading scientists at the frontiers of environmental science and nanomedicine, this book is intended for both young researchers and experienced professionals working in the fields of environmental protection, human health and occupational safety, nanotechnology, material science and nanomedicine, as well as graduate students majoring in environmental and health sciences.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Liang-Hong Guo is Professor at the Institute of Environmental and Health Sciences, China Jiliang University, China. Dr. Guo received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Oxford University, UK, in 1991, and carried out postdoctoral research at the University of Rochester, USA, from 1991-1995. He worked as Professor and Group Leader at the Research Center for Eco-environmental Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, from 2004-2019. Dr. Guo's research interests focus on toxicology and health impacts of new and emerging environmental contaminants including new flame retardants, fluorinated organic chemicals, and nanomaterials. He has published over 140 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals such as Environmental Health Perspectives, Nanotoxicology, Archives of Toxicology, and Environmental Science & Technology. Dr. Guo served as Editor-in-Chief of Chinese Journal of Environmental Chemistry and Associate Editor of Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts. Dr. Monika Mortimer is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Environmental and Health Sciences at China Jiliang University, Hangzhou, China. She received her B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia. She was a recipient of a postdoctoral grant from the Rectors' Conference of the Swiss Universities to conduct research at the University of Geneva, Switzerland in 2012-2013. In 2014, she received a postdoctoral grant from the Estonian Research Council for research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the UC Center for Environmental Implications of Nano-technology (UC CEIN). She continued her appointment with UCSB as a Project Scientist in 2016-2019. Her research focuses on environmental and health im-pacts of engineered nanomaterials and emerging pollutants. Her areas of expertise include microbiology, molecular toxicology, omics approaches, nanomaterials, and environmental fate and effects of chemicals. Sheserves as an Academic Editor of PeerJ and an Associate Editor of Biogeochemical Dynamics, a specialty section of Frontiers in Environmental Science.
