Impact of Nanotechnology on Environment -A Review (original) (raw)

Abstract

The world is facing significant environmental challenges like improving the standard of air, soil, and water. Currently, industry is that specialize in detecting pollutants (from chemical spills, fertilizer and pesticide runoff), improving industrial and mining sites, treating contaminants and stopping further pollution. A potential solution to those problems is to use nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are often wont to assist with cleaning the environment and even provide efficient energy solutions, like nanomaterial based solar cells additionally to the present, nanomaterials help to enhance the standard and performance of the many consumer products. As results of this, the exposure to made nanomaterials is increasing day-by-day. However, there are both positive and negative impacts on the environment thanks to nanotechnology.Recent advances in nanotechnology have shown numerous societal benefits through the event or improvement of smart materials. Several engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are produced during the last years which will be found in related sectors like health, food, home, automotive, electronics, and computers (Hansen et al., 2016). The estimated output of ENMs produced was up to 270,000 metric tons/year and during this case considering only SiO2, TiO2, FeOx, AlOx, ZnO, and CeO2 nanoparticles.
