Abstract

Overcoming the climate crisis and growing environmental pollution is a fundamental problem facing society in the 21st century. These problems have both health and economic implications. Developing an effective system for managing pollutants and greenhouse gases seems crucial. The use of nanomaterial-based technologies may be the answer. The dynamic development of nanoscience has led to the discovery of unique properties of nanomaterials, resulting primarily from quantum constraints, while the development of techniques for obtaining nanostructures has increased their availability. The ability to be used in filtration processes, as well as for adsorption, photocatalysis, and disinfection, predisposes nanomaterials to applications in environmental bioremediation and wastewater treatment. This article provides an overview of technologies currently in use or that may play a significant role in the fight for a healthier environment in the near future. The results of using nanomaterial-based technologies in air and water purification processes to date have been positive, promising further development of effective green technologies.
