Abstract

The creative use of nanomaterials in the cleanup of polluted groundwater and soil is examined in this chapter. An outline of the widespread problem of soil and groundwater contamination is given at the outset, emphasizing the urgent need for efficient remediation technology. The function of nanomaterials, such as metal, carbon, and polymer-based nanoparticles, is thoroughly investigated, emphasizing how they work through adsorption, catalytic degradation, and improving bioremediation procedures. Applications in groundwater and soil remediation are examined, together with an evaluation of the effects on the environment and safety issues of toxicity and legal frameworks. The chapter ends by discussing the difficulties and constraints encountered when applying nanomaterial technology for environmental remediation, highlighting the need for ongoing study and advancement in this area.
