How Does Nanotechnology Aid in Pollutant Detection?
Nanotechnology enhances pollutant detection through the use of nanosensors and nanomaterials. These materials have high surface areas and unique chemical properties that make them sensitive to low concentrations of pollutants. For instance, carbon nanotubes and nanoparticle-based sensors can detect heavy metals, organic pollutants, and even pathogenic microorganisms with high precision.
