Detailed explanation-1: -Air pollution can be remediated using nanotechnology in several ways. One is through the use of nano-catalysts with increased surface area for gaseous reactions. Catalysts work by speeding up chemical reactions that transform harmful vapors from cars and industrial plants into harmless gases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because of their huge surface area and related high reactivity, nanomaterials perform better in environmental clean-up than other conventional approaches.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nanomaterials reaching in the land have the potential to contaminate soil, and migrate into surface and ground waters. Particles in solid wastes, waste water effluents, direct discharges, or accidental spillages can be transported to aquatic systems by wind or rainwater runoff.
Detailed explanation-4: -Generating less pollution during the manufacture of materials. For the production of solar cells to generate electricity at a competitive cost. To increase electricity generated by windmills. For cleaning organic chemicals that pollute the groundwater.
