Nanotechnology and in situ remediation: a review of the benefits and potential risks.
TLDR
Nanoremediation has the potential not only to reduce the overall costs of cleaning up large-scale contaminated sites but also to reduce cleanup time, eliminate the need for treatment and disposal of contaminated soil, and reduce some contaminant concentrations to near zero—all in situ.Abstract:
ObjectiveAlthough industrial sectors involving semiconductors; memory and storage technologies; display, optical, and photonic technologies; energy; biotechnology; and health care produce the most ...read more

Review on nano zerovalent iron (nZVI): From synthesis to environmental applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the opportunities and risks arising from the use of nano zerovalent iron (nZVI) from its synthesis to environmental application, and identify problems that may occur a result of changes in the physicochemical properties of nZVI due to their modification (e.g. other metal doping, coating the surface, or deposition on the support).
