Abstract
Providing a clean and safe environment is one of the great challenges facing humanity. As a result of various human activities over thousands of years in the field of agriculture, industry, housing, burning fuel and elimination of forests and agricultural areas, the environment has been greatly destroyed, and water, air and soil are polluted, and this has resulted in a several risks and problems that It began threatening humanity, perhaps the most important of which is the spread of diseases and epidemics caused by pollution, such as climate change and global warming, which caused major climatic problems that led to storms and floods on the one hand, and drought, desertification and water scarcity on the other hand. It may also lead to bigger and deeper problems if we delay facing this challenge. Green environmental applications such as nanotechnology have great for environmental sanitation (land, water, air) and treatment of pollution resulting from agricultural and industrial activities, accommodation and others. It has a set of low-cost solutions to environmental cleaning problems. Environmental protection is one of the most prominent applied fields that nanotechnology pays great attention to because of the interrelationship between human health and environment in which-it lives. Green technology aims to use less harmful technology to human health and the environment and gradually leads to storage, distribution and use systems that are clean and non-polluting to the environment. Thus, it reduces carbon dioxide emissions significantly, and saves the world from the problem of climate change or global warming. Hence, this article aims to review the future green ecological applications of nanotechnology.
