Environmental Nanotechnology

Environmental nanotechnology involves using tiny materials called nanoparticles—so small they are measured in billionths of a meter—to detect, eliminate, or reduce pollutants in air, water, and soil. These advanced materials can enhance environmental cleanup efforts, such as breaking down contaminants more efficiently or filtering harmful substances more effectively. Because of their small size and unique properties, nanoparticles can be highly targeted and efficient, offering innovative solutions to improve environmental health and sustainability without extensive or invasive procedures. This field combines nanotechnology with environmental science to address ecological challenges in a precise and effective manner.
