How can nanotechnology be used
to reduce water pollution?
• The removal of industrial water
pollution, such as a cleaning solvent
called TCE (trichloroethene) , from
ground water. Nanoparticles can be
used to convert the contaminating
chemical through a chemical
reaction to make it harmless.
• To reach contaminates dispersed in
underground ponds at much lower
cost than other methods
• The removal of salt or metals from
water.
• A deionization method using
electrodes composed of nano-sized
fibers shows promise for reducing
the cost and energy requirements
of turning salt water into drinking
water.
• Standard filters do not work on
virus cells.
• A filter only a few nanometers in
diameter is currently being
developed that should be capable of
removing virus cells from water.
