Overviews low-cost, eco-friendly green synthesized nanomaterials for efficient nanoremediation of environmental pollution. Discusses green methods to synthesize nanoremediators; algae-based and plant-based nanomaterials; different types of green nanoparticles to handle environmental pollutants and more.
The use of nanomaterials for remediation efforts has been overlooked even though they present interesting characteristics as remediators. This new book provides a valuable overview of low-cost and eco-friendly green synthesized nanomaterials as advantageous technology that promotes efficient nanoremediation of environmental pollution for the restoration of polluted areas. It discusses the potential of nanomaterials, specifically green synthesized nanomaterials, as a practical and efficient solution toward sustainability. The book details the advantages of green nanomaterials when compared to conventional physicochemical methods, such as avoiding the use of harmful reagents and reducing toxic waste production. The book addresses themes such as contaminants associated with environmental pollution and the threats to humans; nanoremediation strategies that use microbes, plants, or amendments; and nanoparticles as tools for nanoremediation and their advantageous characteristics.
