Nanobioremediation Technologies for Sustainable Environment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

Hybrid technologies like nanobioremediation are significant in transforming and detoxifying pollutants which harm the ecosystem. In situ or ex situ it has the potential for large scale clean- up activities with reduced cost and minimal harmful byproducts. Here five nanoscale metallic biosynthesized particles formed the topic of study. Zn, Ag, Au, Fe and Cu particles can be biosynthesized using plant extracts, bacteria, fungi and algae. The potential of these metallic nanoparticles to degrade and remedy various contaminants in the environment has been researched widely. A combination of biosynthesis and remediation lead to sustainable development and ultimately a sustained environment.
