Nanoworld is very interesting and fascinating.Nanotechnology and its approach to clean the contaminated environment are promising.
This is a nice and advance topic to discuss Sir.
Nanotechnology can be used to remove heavy metals or toxic pollutants from soil or water. Nanotechnology is used for the treatment of surface water, ground water and waste water contaminated by toxic metal ions, organic and inorganic solutes and microorganism.(J.N Shrivastava)

Check this review that we have published recently:

very comprehensively, nanotechonolgy has the potential to stabilize enzymes against mechanical damage and thus increase their half life to be reused several times in the bioremediation, which eventually reduces the cost of bioremediation.
