The levels of toxic and microbial contamination in the food andenvironment are influenced by harvesting or slaughteringtechnologies and by the processes applied during food manufacture.With current cultivation methods, it is impossible to guarantee theabsence of pesticides and pathogenic microorganisms in raw foods,both of plant and animal origin. Widespread and increasingincidence of foodborne diseases and the resulting social andeconomic impact on the world population have brought food andenvironmental safety to the forefront of ecological safety andpublic health concerns. The emerging field of advanced materialsbased on functional architectures offers potential solutions tosome of the key performance challenges along with the improvedsensitivity, longevity, stability, miniaturization and ruggedness,while reducing complexity and production cost. The overall purposeof this book is to generate new solutions to the technicalchallenges in easy and rapid detections of food toxicants,microorganisms and environmental pollutants.The book focuses on the role of advanced materials in the food,water and environmental applications.? The monitoring ofharmful organisms and toxicants in water, food and beverages ismainly discussed in the respective chapters. The seniorcontributors write on the following topics:Layered double hydroxides and environmentCorrosion resistance of aluminium alloys of silanesNew generation material for the removal of arsenic fromwaterPrediction and optimization of heavy clay products qualityEnhancement of physical and mechanical properties of fiberEnvironment friendly acrylates laticesNanoparticles for trace analysis of toxinsRecent development on gold nanomaterial as catalyst?Nanosized metal oxide based adsorbents for heavy metalremovalPhytosynthesized transition metal nanoparticles- novelfunctional agents for textilesKinetics and equilibrium modelingMagnetic nanoparticles for heavy metal removalPotential applications of nanoparticles as antipathogensGas barrier properties of biopolymer based nanocomposites:Application in food packingApplication of zero-valent iron nanoparticles for environmentalclean upEnvironmental application of novel TiO2 nanoparticles
