ABSTRACT

Pollution of soil, water, and air are becoming serious issue worldwide due to all the produced toxic chemicals from the different industrial and personal activities. This comportment may give rise to several issues related to the health of humans and environment which increases the application challenges of conventional treatment methodologies. These noxious volatile compounds, inorganic gases, heavy metals, day-to-day personal hygiene and upkeep products, endocrine-disrupting compounds, chemical dyes, pharma products, etc. are disturbing the equilibrium of the globe and enhancing the ecological contamination at a high-alarming frequency. Consequently, their recognition, adsorption, and elimination are of great need. Therefore, this chapter mainly emphasizes on the novel evolutions of nanotechnology and its role in detection of the growing hazardous wastes with high efficiency, less energy along with lower cost.
