Environmental pollution has raised significantly in recent years due to the increase in anthropogenic activities. The release of pollutants through these activities causes severe damage to the environment. These pollutants are well-mixed and persistent in soil, water, and air system. Therefore, suitable techniques are required to monitor, detect, and mitigate these contaminants from their source/environment. Several techniques such as physical, chemical, biological, and membrane-based, etc. have been adopted in the recent past for the treatment of these pollutants. However, the complete removal of a few specific pollutants from their source is challenging through these conventional techniques. Therefore, more advanced integrated processes are required to alleviate these pollutants from the environment. With the advancement of nanotechnology in recent years, nanoparticles with unique physicochemical properties have exhibited outstanding accomplishments in several areas including water, wastewater, and air treatment.

In view of this, this Special Issue aims to cover the most recent progress and advances in the application of nanomaterials in the treatment of water, wastewater, and air. This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute original research articles and reviews focusing on the application of nanoparticles in water, wastewater, and air treatment processes. The scope of this special issue covers but is not limited to the following aspects:

• Synthesis of nanomaterials for environmental application
• Application of nanomaterials in the degradation of pollutants from water
• Nanomaterials in wastewater treatment and resource recovery
• Nanomembranes for wastewater and air treatment
• Nanoadsorbent
• Nanocatalysts for VOCs removal
• Nanosensors for the detection of pollutants
