How Do Nanomaterials Aid in Environmental Cleanup?

Nanomaterials, like nanoparticles, nanofibers, and nanotubes, have unique physical and chemical properties that allow them to interact with contaminants in novel ways. For example:
Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron (nZVI) can reduce and immobilize heavy metals and chlorinated organic compounds.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles can break down organic pollutants through photocatalysis when exposed to UV light.
Carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide can adsorb a wide range of contaminants due to their high surface areas.
