How Can Nanotechnology Help in Pollution Remediation?
Nanotechnology offers advanced methods for pollution remediation that are more effective and efficient than traditional techniques. For instance, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and nanoscale zero-valent iron can be used to remove contaminants from water and soil. These materials have a high surface area to volume ratio, which enhances their reactivity and adsorption capacities, making them particularly effective in capturing and neutralizing pollutants.
