“…The studies about the nanomaterials started fifteen years ago, and knowledge regarding their toxic potential is still limited and without appropriate regulatory measures in place [4][5][6]. Toxicologists, epidemiologists, and sociologists have particularly debated the future implications of nanotechnology as well as concerns regarding their toxicity and potential environmental impact.…”

Nanotechnology currently plays a pivotal role in several fields and has enabled substantial advances in a relatively short time. In biomedicine, nanomaterials can be potentially employed as a tool for early diagnosis and an innovative mode of drug delivery. Novel nanomaterials are currently widely manipulated without a full assessment of their potential health risks. It is commonly thought that nanomaterials' first contact with the organism is through the different components of the immune system. However, if the entry route is intravenous, the first contact will be with the blood's components (erythrocytes, platelets, white cells, plasma and complement proteins). The presence of nanomaterials within a dynamic environment such as the bloodstream can produce potential harmful effects following interaction with several blood components. The design of innovative strategies leading to the development of more hemocompatible nanomaterials is also necessary.

“…Miniaturisation affects every aspect of human life; medicine and science are no exceptions. Nanotechnology is interested in particles within the 1-100 nm size range [1]. For a better understanding of the size range in Figure 1 we compare nano size to other objects.…”

“…For a better understanding of the size range in Figure 1 we compare nano size to other objects. Although it was Richard Zsigmondy who used the term 'nanometre' as early as in 1925, Richard Feynman is the indisputable father of nanotechnology [1]. In 1959 he gave a lecture entitled 'There's Plenty Room at the Bottom' and suggested that manipulation on the atomic level would soon be possible.…”

Materials sized 1–100 nm are the nanotechnology’s field of interest. Because of the unique properties such as the ability to penetrate biological barriers and a high surface to volume ratio, nanoparticles (NPs) are a powerful tool to be used in medicine and industry. This review discusses the role of nanotechnology in bone-related issues: osteosarcoma (bone cancer), the biocompatibility of the implants and implant-related infections. In cancer therapy, NPs can be used as (I) cytotoxic agents, (II) drug delivery platforms and (III) in thermotherapy. In implant-related issues, NPs can be used as (I) antimicrobial agents and (II) adjuvants to increase the biocompatibility of implant surface. Properties of NPs depend on (I) the type of NPs, (II) their size, (III) shape, (IV) concentration, (V) incubation time, (VI) functionalization and (VII) capping agent type.

“…Over a decade later, in his explorations of ultraprecision machining, Professor Norio Taniguchi invented the concept NT. It wasn't until 1981, with the development of the Environmental Management and Sustainable Development ISSN 2164-7682 2017 scanning tunneling microscope that could "see" single atoms, that new nanotechnology started (Hulla et al, 2015). The term NT composed from two words: the Greek numerical prefix nano referring to a billionth and the word technology is a generic term used to describe processes for the fabrication and / or usage of nanoscale structures (Sattler, 2010;Logothetidis, 2012).…”

Environmental contamination is one of the important issues that the world is confronting today, and it is expanding with each passing year and leading to grave and harmful effect to the earth. At present, the air contains various pollutants like CO, chlorofluorocarbons, volatile organic compounds, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. Water and soil are also contaminated with organic and inorganic compounds, the major sources for water and soil contamination are sewage water, industrial effluents, random use of pesticides, fertilizers, and oil spills. In parallel, the rapid growth of nanotechnology has gained a great deal of interest in the applications of nanomaterials potential in improved systems for monitoring and cleanup including all the three phases of environment . It can develop the pollutants sensing and detection and help in the improvement of novel remediation technologies. Nanomaterials are excellent adsorbents, catalysts and sensors due to their large specific surface areas and high reactivates. This review firstly sheds the light on the definition of nanoparticles, and the nanotechnology concept, the fundamental properties, classification, and fields of nanotechnology applications. Then it focuses broadly on the application of nanotechnology in environmental fields, in particular, its application in air pollution monitoring and remediation and its future trend in this field.
