Abstract: Pollution is a serious issue, and as the world's population grows, so does the need for energy and commodities, resulting in environmental repercussions. Increased solid waste output, increased air pollution from automobiles and industrial plants, and contamination of soil and groundwater are only a few of those consequences. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve the environment by using nanoparticles for detecting, preventing, and treating contaminants by removing them.
Nanoparticles have a great surface area to mass ratio, allowing them to demonstrate unique qualities that are fully exploited in nanotechnology applications. Nanotechnology can help save resources by using lightweight, high-strength carbon nanotube and metal oxide framework materials as hydrogen storage materials. The use of nanomaterials and nanoparticles in manufacturing and energy-related applications can result in significant resource savings and increased efficiency. This study investigates the use of nanotechnology in pollution detection, prevention, and treatment.

Keywords: Nanomaterials, Pollution, Nano sensors, Environment, Nanotechnology, Treatment, Detection, Prevention.
