Role of nanomaterials in the environment

Abstract

The development of novel approaches, instruments, and strategies to address particular quantitative and qualitative environmental issues is greatly aided by science and technology. Nanotechnology is very effective at removing and detecting pollutants in the fields of air, water, and wastewater. Some of the techniques created using nanotechnology to treat water and wastewater, air, and pollution detection include nano adsorbents, nanofiltration, nano photocatalysts, magnetic nanoparticles, and nanosensors. Given that nanotechnology can remove and regulate environmental pollutants as well as cleanse and stop their spread, it is a useful instrument for achieving sustainable development and can be regarded as green technology.
