The Handbook for Functionalized Nanomaterials for Industrial Applications, edited by Dr Chaudery Hussain has recently been published by Elsevier.  This book contains a chapter on the Environmental, Legal, Health and Safety Issues of Functionalised Nanomaterials by Yordas' very own Dr Neil Hunt.  It is available via the Elsevier online store.

Neil's chapter gives an introduction and overview of research that has shown how the (eco)toxicology of nanomaterials can be changed by adjusting the chemistry of the surface of a nanomaterial.  It then reviews how changing surface functionality of nanomaterials can change regulatory obligations across the world.  Please note the chapter was written before the REACH was formally updated to cover different nanoforms. Yordas will soon be producing a whitepaper on the topic of similarity of nanoforms that will continue the story.
