Green Nano Technology

Green nanotechnology refers to the technology that uses the nanotechnology as improvement supplement for environmental sustainability which uses different methods producing negative externalities. It also refers the products of nanotechnology which can be used to enhance sustainability. It includes making green Nano-products and using Nano-products in maintenance of sustainability. It has been defined as the development of clean technologies to decrease potential of environmental and human health risks related with the manufacture and use of nanotechnology products, and to inspire replacement of existing products with new Nano-products that are more environmentally friendly throughout their lifecycle. It involves developing products that benefit the environment either directly or indirectly. Its materials or products can be used directly to unsoiled hazardous waste sites, desalinate water, treat pollutants, or sense and monitor environmental pollutants
