Environmental protection is no longer just about regulations and good intentions. It’s about measurable performance: cleaner water, lower emissions, safer remediation, and smarter monitoring. This is where nanotechnology is becoming a practical ally—because nanoscale materials can dramatically improve adsorption, catalysis, filtration, sensing, and energy-related processes.

The book Nanotechnology: Applications for Environmental Protection and Sustainability (Springer, 2025) brings together research and applied perspectives on how nanomaterials are being used (and tested) for real environmental impact—especially in water and wastewater treatment, pollution remediation, carbon capture, and clean energy pathways.

What problems can nano-enabled solutions address?

• Water purification & wastewater treatment: nano-adsorbents, advanced filtration, contaminant removal strategies.
• Pollution control & remediation: catalytic approaches, graphene-based photocatalysis, degradation of hazardous compounds.
• Carbon management: nanomaterials designed for CO₂ capture and sequestration-related applications.
• Environmental monitoring: nano-enabled sensing for detecting gases and pollutants with higher sensitivity.
• Risk & ecotoxicity: understanding environmental impacts of nanoparticles and how to mitigate them.

International organizations working on the book’s central themes

If you want to follow the institutions shaping global action on water safety, pollution control, carbon management, and sustainable technology, these are essential references:

• UNEP — United Nations Environment Programme (pollution, chemicals, sustainability policy)
• WHO — World Health Organization (water quality, public health impacts)
• IWA — International Water Association (water & wastewater treatment knowledge and best practice)
• World Economic Forum (technology + sustainability, global initiatives)
• IPCC (climate science underpinning mitigation priorities)
• IRENA (renewables and clean energy transition frameworks)
• ISO (standards relevant to environmental management and technology deployment)
• OECD — Environment (policy guidance on environmental performance and innovation)

Book details and why it belongs in a serious technical collection

This volume is especially valuable for professionals and institutions because it connects nanoscale science to environmental outcomes—without pretending there are no trade-offs. It includes applications, methods, and critical considerations around safety and environmental impacts.
