How do nanomaterials help in environmental applications?
Nanomaterials offer unique properties such as increased surface area, reactivity, and strength, making them suitable for a variety of environmental applications:
Water purification: Nanomaterials like graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes can remove contaminants, heavy metals, and pathogens from water. Air filtration: Nanofibers and nanoparticles can capture pollutants and particulate matter, improving air quality. Soil remediation: Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) can degrade toxic chemicals in contaminated soil.
