Description: Nanomaterials for Environmental Remediation: Monitoring, Protection, and Sustainability provides an in-depth analysis of various nanomaterial-based approaches, including nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and nanofibers, in tackling environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, organic compounds, and emerging contaminants. Key topics covered include the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials, their mechanisms of pollutant removal, environmental fate and transport, and potential risks and implications for human health and ecosystems. Special emphasis is placed on the principles of sustainability, ensuring that nanotechnology interventions are environmentally benign and socially responsible. Through case studies, practical examples, and emerging trends, this book offers insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with the application of these materials for environmental monitoring, remediation, protection and sustainability. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers, chemists, environmental scientists and engineers, manufacturers and other professionals working on the development of nanomaterials for environmental remediation applications.
