Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The planet is dealing with a major problem of environmental pollution. Year
after year, this problem worsens, causing harm to our planet. To combat the major
environmental issues, various technologies have been developed over the years. The
use of nanomaterials in environmental management is becoming more common.
Nanomaterials are increasingly being used to clean the air, purify water, decontaminate
soil, and detect pollution. Nanotechnology has emerged as a technique for cleaning up
pollution and monitoring degradation of environmental sectors such as air, water and
soil. Hence nanotechnology can contribute to the sustainability of the environment.
This chapter discusses the use of nanomaterials in the monitoring of air pollutants,
organic contaminants and other environmental pollutants, as well as the various
methods involved in the production of nanoparticles.
Keywords:
Environmental monitoring, Nanomaterials, Nanoparticles, Pollutants.
