Nano-phytoremediation and Environmental Pollution

This book offers a comprehensive overview of nano-phytoremediation, detailing innovative strategies for addressing environmental pollution through the use of plants and nanotechnology.

In Nano-phytoremediation and Environmental Pollution, the author delves into the innovative intersection of nanotechnology and phytoremediation, highlighting how these two fields can work together to restore polluted environments. The book outlines the significant potential of using plants in conjunction with nanomaterials to effectively remediate contaminated areas. This exploration is particularly relevant in light of the increasing anthropogenic threats to ecosystems, which necessitate the development of new and efficient strategies for environmental restoration.

The text is structured in two main parts. The first section addresses organic and inorganic pollution, detailing the various threats these pollutants pose to living organisms. The second part focuses on the synergistic use of plants and nanomaterials, specifically in the context of nano-phytoremediation for water and soil ecosystems. The author provides a thorough examination of the methods and technologies available, offering readers extensive insights into how nano-phytoremediation can serve as a viable solution for environmental pollution.

Key features of the book include detailed strategies for remediating soil and water ecosystems, dedicated chapters on different types of pollutants, and methods for evaluating the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of nano-phytoremediation techniques. This comprehensive resource is suitable for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate courses in biotechnology, biochemistry, and environmental engineering, making it an invaluable addition for educators, researchers, and practitioners in the field of environmental management and pollution control.
