Shafqat Alauddin, Arshad Kamal

Abstract: Nanomaterials have gained significant attention in environmental science due to their unique properties, including high surface area, reactivity and adaptable characteristics. These materials offer revolutionary advancements in pollution remediation, water purification, air filtration, and energy storage. Their ability to interact at the nanoscale allows for enhanced efficiency in chemical reactions, making them indispensable in environmental applications. Despite their advantages, the potential ecological and health risks associated with nanomaterials necessitate comprehensive assessment and regulatory measures. This paper explores different types of nanomaterials, their specific applications in environmental science, underlying mechanisms of action, and associated risks. Additionally, it highlights future research directions and the development of safer nanomaterials to ensure sustainable environmental management.

Keywords: Nanomaterials, Environmental Science, Pollution Remediation, Toxicity, Sustainability, Green Nanotechnology
