Abstract

Nowadays, the requirement for nanotechnology has increased. It plays a vital role in treating environmental pollution. This process involves the application of exorbitant reactive nanomaterials as a strategy to act as a catalyst, immobilize, and reduce contamination, thereby reducing the hazard to individuals’ health and to the environment. Different kinds of green synthesized nanomaterials from microbes, including carbon nanotubes, nanoscale zero-valent iron, magnetic and metallic nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, and silica nanoparticles, are used as a novel strategy for the safe and durable removal of persistent organic pollutants. The production and development of innovative materials in industrial products, as well as their benefits and drawbacks, are the focus of this chapter.
