Environmental pollution poses a significant global challenge, threatening ecosystems, human health, and biodiversity. The rapid advancements in nanotechnology and nanomaterials offer innovative solutions for mitigating pollution and promoting environmental conservation. Due to their unique physicochemical properties—such as high surface area, enhanced reactivity, and selective adsorption—nanomaterials play a crucial role in addressing air, water, and soil contamination. This paper explores the potential of nanotechnology in environmental remediation through nanofiltration, photocatalysis, adsorption, and bioremediation. The application of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials (e.g., graphene, carbon nanotubes), and nanocomposites has shown promising results in removing heavy metals, organic pollutants, and hazardous gases from the environment. Furthermore, the integration of nanosensors for real- time pollution detection and monitoring enhances early intervention strategies. While nanotechnology offers cost-effective and efficient pollution control methods, concerns regarding nanotoxicity, environmental persistence, and regulatory challenges must be addressed to ensure sustainable implementation. This paper highlights the latest advancements, challenges, and future prospects of nanotechnology in pollution mitigation, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary research and eco-friendly nanomaterial synthesis. By fostering responsible innovation and regulatory frameworks, nanotechnology can revolutionize environmental conservation efforts, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
