Abstract
Background:
Depletion and contamination of environmental resources such as water, air
and soil caused by human activities is an increasingly important challenge faced around the world.
The consequences of environmental pollution are felt acutely by all living beings, both on a short and
long-term basis, thereby making methods of remediation of environmental pollution an urgent
requirement.
Objectives:
The objective of this review is to dissect the complications caused by environmental degradation,
highlight advancements in the field of nanotechnology and to scrutinize its applications in
environmental remediation. Furthermore, the review aims to concisely explain the merits and drawbacks
of nanotechnology compared to existing methods.
Conclusion:
The current and potential applications of nanomaterials and nanocomposites in the prevention,
control and reduction of air, water and soil pollution and the mechanisms involved have
been elucidated, with their various merits and demerits. The applications of nanotechnology in the
fields of carbon capture and agriculture have also been discussed in this review.
