The notion of green growth has emerged
as a dominant policy response to climate change and
ecological breakdown. Environmental
contamination is one of the important issues that the world is
facing today, it is always expanding
and leading to the grave and harmful effect on the Earth.
Nanoparticles have a diameter less than
100 nm exhibit new size-dependent properties compared
with the bulk material. Engineered
nanoparticles (ENPs) have unique characteristics in addition to the
high surface area-to-volume ratio,
which may increase their toxicity relative to bulk materials. Due to
the high volume production of ENPs
products such as carbon nanotubes, titanium dioxide, silver, zinc
oxide environmental exposure to these
compounds is very common. ENPs have their unique
properties and applications in the
areas of medicine, food & drink, construction, automotive, textiles,
energy, electronics, environment etc.
To enable society to build and sustain a green economy, the
associated concept of “green
nanotechnology” aims to exploit nano-innovations in materials science
and engineering to generate products
and processes that are energy efficient as well as economically
and environmentally sustainable. The
present book chapter is focused on the recent development of
the applications of ENPs in the environmental mitigation
and green growth.
