Abstract
Nanomaterials manifest distinct physical and chemical properties and have received much attention from researchers in different areas of environmental sciences, specifically in bioremediation. However, bioremediation may not always impart contrivable approaches when subjected to high concentrations of contaminants that are harmful to most microorganisms, which include heavy metals and salts. Nanotechnology on the other hand exhibits a number of potential environmental benefits such as treatment and remediation, pollution prevention, and sensing and detection of pollutants. Nanomaterials used towards bioremediation provide less-toxic effects on indigenous microorganisms and improve microbial biodegradation activity. Credibility of nanotechnology to cut down pollution is in its developing stage and could potentially revolutionize the field of environmental sustainability. Nano-bioremediation is a new emerging technique for remediation of pollutants using biosynthetic nanoparticles.
