Nanotechnologies for Environmental Remediation

Abstract

Cleaning up the environment from various sources of pollution is a commitment to not only preserve ecological health but also human health. Pollution in the environment can be remediated using a range of techniques including nanotechnologies. Environmental remediation techniques use various approach to remove or degrade environmental pollution in soils, waters, groundwater, and air. There are two different strategies to apply the nanotechnologies to environmental remediation: ex situ techniques that consist in the removing pollutant from sites and then treating; in situ techniques that make up of cleaning up directly in the polluted site. Both strategies are highly efficient but it’s necessary to know the nanomaterials used to nanoremediate the environment, so the electron microscopy offers an important tool to characterize and quantify NMs in environmental; evaluate NMs transformation in the environment and consequences for bioavailability and toxicity; analysis uptake and internal distribution of NMs in model animals. Research addressing these key topics will reduce the uncertainty in ecological risk assessment and support the sustainable development of nanotechnology.
