Nanotechnology and Environment
Nanotechnology provides solutions to some of the global environmental challenges in the 21 st century. Examples can be found in water and air purification, anti-bacterial and self-cleaning surfaces, catalysts for exhaust gases, etc. In addition, the indirect effects of applications, such as solar and fuel cells, can help us to reduce pollution and waste products.
The Nanotechnology and Environment -session will address some of these applications, as well as discuss potential health risks involved with nanotechnology.
