Nanomaterials in Water Purification: From Pathogens to Microplastics and Heavy Metals
Summary
Researchers reviewed how nanotechnology-based materials can simultaneously remove pathogens, heavy metals, and microplastics from drinking water, offering multi-contaminant purification solutions. This work is directly relevant to human health because microplastic removal at the point of water treatment represents one of the most practical interventions for reducing daily human ingestion of plastic particles.
Recently, nanotechnology has been applied in various fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine. Nanotechnology is also applied in the removal of multiple impurities/pollutants, including pathogenic bacteria and viruses, from water...
