Abstract

Environmental pollution threatens life on Earth. Inorganic and organic chemicals can negatively impact living beings’ health as same as biological contaminants can. Some of them can persist for long periods of time in an ecosystem and can also enter food chains, causing extensive damage. It is necessary to develop ecofriendly solutions to deal with these pollutants in an efficient way, aiming to achieve balance and more-sustainable development. The nanotechnology field can offer green synthesized iron nanoparticles as interesting tools to perform nanoremediation due to their large surface area, high reactivity, low cost, and potential magnetic property. This chapter is dedicated to reviewing green iron nanoparticles as nanoremediators generated by using fungi, plants, algae, and bacteria and to exploring both their potential and future perspectives for the field.
