Innovative Materials for Removal of New Generation Pollutants from Aquatic Environment
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Wide spread application of Nanoparticles (NPs) for various uses like antibacterial materials, drug delivery systems, cosmetics, pesticides and electronic gadgets leads to developments in nanotechnology. Improvement in properties of these product due to NPs are leading to a rapid proliferation of new materials that are likely to become a source of Engineered Nanoparticles (ENPs) to the ambient environment, where their possible ecotoxicological impacts remain unknown. These ENPs can be termed as new generation pollutants in aquatic and terrestrial environment. The potential toxic effects of these nanoparticles on aquatic as well as soil-plant environment, have drawn much special attention due to their higher production, usage and unintentional release into the environment without any systematic regulation by government agencies as in case of conventional pollutants.
