Expansive potential markets for environmental nanotechnology products already exist for an array of urgently needed environmental remedial applications, some of which appear to have requirements that are approaching critical levels.
Nanotechnologies applied to environmental maintenance would test, monitor, track, and degrade the vast number of biological and chemical, as well as radiological, agents and elements that are shown to have both immediate and cumulatively damaging effects on the environment and human health. This challenge might be met by the design, construction, and implementation of extremely responsive and interactive nanosensors and nanosensor networks.
