Abstract

The growth in population and associated pace of urbanization have led to exhaustive development at the cost of environmental degradation. The quantity of waste production and its management has emerged as a huge matter of concern. Nanobioremediation has emerged as an environment-friendly remediation technology which consists of the application of biosynthesized nanomaterials for detoxification of hazardous contaminants. Bioremediation in conjunction with nanotechnology has gained impetus considering the associated advantages with their integrated use. The intrinsic properties of nanoparticles (NPs) have gathered the interest of researchers across the globe toward their applicability in various areas of environmental remediation including bioremediation. Nanobioremediation has proved to hold huge potential in environmental remediation with additional benefits of economic aspect and minimized generation of harmful by-products. The coherent applicability of nanotechnology has expanded its implementation through integration with other technologies. The issues and challenges associated with bioremediation have been overcome through this integrated application of nanobioremediation.
