Advanced Nanostructures for Environmental Health shows how advanced nanostructures are used to meet the most important challenges of our age. The book presents examples of how advanced nanostructures can detect and remove pollutants and other contaminant harmful to people’s health and provides examples of diagnosis tools based on advanced nanostructures. Treatment possibilities with the use of nanostructures, such as phototherapeutic applications, radiation based treatment methods, and drug delivery systems are also explored.

Two of the biggest and most pressing issues facing our global society are climate change and age-related diseases like cancer or tissue degeneration. Such environmental health problems are due in part to a rising population and also due to advances in modern medicine, meaning that more people are living longer. Nanotechnology presents some potential solutions to these issues. In particular, applications of nanostructures in pollution control, drug delivery, energy harvesting, and storage are helping us to solve these problems.
Advanced Nanostructures for Environmental Health Applications shows how advanced nanostructures are used to meet the most important challenges of our age. The book covers issues related to the application of advanced nanostructures to assess and control physical, chemical, and biological factors external to a person, and also the related factors impacting behaviors that can potentially affect health. Advantages and drawbacks of advanced nanostructures in environmental health applications together with outlooks on their future involvement are also pointed out throughout the book. Selected topics confirm that these new type nanostructures and materials are able to open innovative perspectives in environmental protection. Using the "toolkit" of nanotechnology, solutions can be provided for a great diversity of environmental problems, such as sensitive detection of organic pollutants, pharmaceutical and other contaminants of emerging concern, (heavy) metals and metalloids, gas molecules or removal of bacteria, viruses and other microbial entities, and also photocatalytic water and air cleaning.
