Environmental Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology that embraces the field of environment comes under the domain of
environmental nanotechnology. Nanotechnology can be interfaced with the environment on the addressal of three aspects—biological congruity and resulting impacts
on living beings, transformation procedures on grounds of geochemical as well as
biological cycles ultimately describing the fate of the materials in biotic and abiotic
components and lastly how the technological hands can be provided to tackle
environmental problems (Jiang et al. 2019). The concerned aspect of nanotechnology emphasizes the introduction of sustainability terms for the designing of
nanoentities (Ai et al. 2011; Yang et al. 2012) along with addressal of the associated
