Nanotechnology can help clean the Environment (original) (raw)

2017, Nano Chemistry can help Clean the Environment

This review outlines the applications of Nanotechnology in remediating polluted Air, Water and Soil. Trends in nanotechnology can be utilized to clean up toxic waste sites. In recent decade, a large volume of research work has been conducted to explore nanotechnology for cost effective decontamination. Nanotechnology has exhibited a great potential for environmental remediation and organic pollution reduction. Nano-science and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering. Eric Drexler popularized the word 'nanotechnology' in the 1980's, he was talking about building machines on the scale of molecules, a few nanometers wide-motors, robot arms, and even whole computers, far smaller than a cell.
