NANOTECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION-AN OVERVIEW

The study of nanotechnology and its application in environment remediation was carried out to reveal the aspects and future of nanotechnology and following aspects were covered under the study i.e. history, concepts and application of nano materials in the world. The review study revealed that the nano era was the great revolution in the field of technology and many transformations in te world were seen in the world. Health implications and potential risks of the nano technology were also briefly discussed in the study. Most near term (1-5 years) applications of nanotechnology are in the form of nanomaterials. These include materials such as lighter and stronger nanocomposites, antibacterial nanoparticles, and nanostructured catalysts. Nanodevices and nanoelectronics are farther off, perhaps 5-15 years, and will have applications in medical treatments and diagnostics, faster computers, and in sensors. The overview of nanotechnology also elucidated that the nano era will come up with huge transformations and will have a great scope in future.
