Unlocking the potential of nanobiohybrids to combat environmental pollution

Abstract

The destructive effects of the world's population growth, which have led to the overuse of primary resources, are evident today. Recently, the world has hit an 8 billion population mark, which is accompanied by an increase in waste generation. Anthropogenic activities lead to environmental pollution that is a problem of great importance, and it is essential to develop economically sound, eco-friendly, and sustainable technologies to tackle this ever-increasing problem of the 21st century. Innovations are required since they can contribute to the creation of sophisticated, sustainable, and novel goods for ecological repair. Such properties can be seen in the current advancements of nanotechnologies and new performing nanomaterials. They have a substantial surface area, enzymatic activity, and responsiveness and are easily functionalized to chemically modify their characteristics. This chapter examines current advancements in bioremediation methods used in conjunction with various nanocomposites and nanobiohybrids to recover the environment from pollution. Special focus is placed on environmentally friendly and regenerative nanosolutions, as well as their secure properties.
