Key themes include source, fate and transport of ENMs in the environment, biophysicochemical transformations of ENMs, and chemical reactions and mechanisms of ENMs transport in plants. This book is an essential read for any scientist or researcher looking to understand the molecular interactions between ENMs and Plants.
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) reach plant ecosystems through intentional or unintentional pathways. In any case, after release, these materials may be transformed in the environment by physical, chemical and biochemical processes. Once in contact with plant systems, biotransformation may still occur, affecting or stimulating plant metabolism. Since plants are the producers to the food chain, it is of paramount importance to understand these mechanisms at the molecular level.
- Presents data, predictions and modeling regarding the presence of ENMs in air, water and soil
- Explains, at the molecular level, the biogeochemical cycle of ENMs before plant exposure
- Focuses on the reactions and mechanisms of ENMs and plants
Audience would be researchers. Could be tailored towards commercial plant nutritional advisors ie companies that sell products to improve plant productivity and control weeds and pests. Plant scientists, nanomaterial scientists, Environmental Chemists, toxicology. Researcher in the field of environmental nanoscience, environmental chemistry and agriculture
