Abstract

The global decline in the atmosphere caused by the release of hazardous material, produced by the entry of chemical and physical or biological elements from anthropogenic, geogenic, or biogenic activities, is becoming a severe problem worldwide. This raises many human and animal health problems, and it can wipe out all living things, further complicating the use of conventional treatment technologies. However, the majority of the work has been done for the removal of oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur; however, dangerous chemicals such as hydrocarbons, aliphatic, aromatic, complex compounds and chlorofluorocarbons that are released into the air from a variety of sources must be eradicated before they reach an unsafe level. Hence, this study illuminates current advances in nanotechnology and their critical role to include the overpowering need to monitor and treat growing dangerous wastes more efficiently at low cost and with less energy. Interestingly, the main features of this article are to outline the benefits of nanotechnology above traditional methods quickly and to relevantly highlight the removal of toxic chemicals, bioaerosols, heavy metals, and organic and inorganic pollutants from the air spectrum. Nanotechnological methods such as thermal breakdown, adsorption, absorption, air filtration, and photocatalytic degradation will be used in the future to get rid of these dangerous substances. Nanotechnology possesses three essential characteristics that enable its application to environmental areas: purification and remediation (cleanup), contaminants identification (detection and sensing), and pollution prevention. In conclusion, nanotechnology is utilized to avoid pollution from a variety of sources that are damaging to various systems owing to its unique physical and chemical features.
