Nanotechnology is being promoted as a new generation environmental remediation technology with immense potential to provide cost-effective solutions to many of the most challenging environmental cleanup problems. Silver,copper, gold, iron oxides, titanium oxides are some of the commonly used nanoparticles (NPs) that can be used in environmental remediation. Further, nanoparticles can be used as selective and sensitive sensors to monitor toxins, heavy metals and persistent organic contaminants (POPs) in soil, water and air environments. But there appears pitfalls in the horizon! Toxicity issues have raised important environmental concerns. Although we need to make a trade-off but scientist are hopeful about benefits of this new "magic bullets", which far exceed their put-down-able drawbacks.

Dear Dr. Ziarati,
Thanks for your reply. But my query is particularly linked with applications and toxicological concerns of metal nanoparticles in environmental management. You may give some input in this regard.

Great question!!
The toxicity issue is one of the major concern for nanotechnological application in environmental remediation. Though most of the factors are avoided during the lab scale analysis, these become the major influential factors to make nanotechnological applications more biocompatible for the environment. That is why still there have only very few reports to consider toxicity concern of nanoparticle-based applications in environmental remediation.
Following this question....
