Nanotechnology and Its Implications for Controlling Air Pollution: A Mini Review

Abstract

Air pollution is a pressing global challenge that severely impacts human health and the environment. Traditional approaches to mitigate air pollution have limitations in terms of efficiency and scalability. Nanotechnology, with its unique properties at the nanoscale, offers innovative solutions to combat air pollution by enhancing pollutant detection, improving filtration systems, and enabling catalytic processes to degrade harmful pollutants. This mini-review explores the key advancements in nanotechnology-based applications for air pollution control, focusing on detection, filtration, and catalytic conversion methods. It also discusses the challenges and future prospects of integrating nanotechnology into environmental management.
