Predictions of environmental nanotechnology for the future.

Water purification

• Nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes can be used to filter and purify water by removing contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria.

• Nanotechnology can be used in air filtration systems to remove pollutants, such as particulate matter, and greenhouse gases.

Air quality improvement

The toxicity of nano materials.

• Some nanomaterials may be toxic to living organisms. Due to their small size, nanoparticles can enter cells and tissues easily,causing health harms.

• In the future nanotechnology can be very promising,adressing issues like climate changes,lack of natural resources,polluted environments,etc.

• However,this application will require a lot of research,time and management to ensure that it benefits both the environment and society in the long term.

• Nanoparticles may interfere with the processes of microorganisms in soil or water, potentially, harming biodiversity. It could also affect the growth of different organisms, leading to negative effects on entire ecosystems.

Ecosystem disruption

Renewable energy enhancements.

• Nanotechnology can improve the efficiency of solar cells, making renewable energy sources more effective,by nano particules that absorb light better.
