“…Microorganism’s advantages against other biological methods are based on their easy handling, high growth rate, low cost and environmental toxicity. Fungi are one of the most used microorganisms for this purpose, due to their ability to secrete higher amounts of proteins [ 131 ]. Some disadvantages are a consequence of easily culture contamination, the need for larger processes and a lower control in NPs size [ 132 ].…”

The unique properties that nanoparticles exhibit, due to their small size, are the principal reason for their numerous applications, but at the same time, this might be a massive menace to the environment. The number of studies that assess the possible ecotoxicity of nanomaterials has been increasing over the last decade to determine if, despite the positive aspects, they should be considered a potential health risk. To evaluate their potential toxicity, models are used in all types of organisms, from unicellular bacteria to complex animal species. In order to better understand the environmental consequences of nanotechnology, this literature review aims to describe and classify nanoparticles, evaluating their life cycle, their environmental releasing capacity and the type of impact, particularly on living beings, highlighting the need to develop more severe and detailed legislation. Due to their diversity, nanoparticles will be discussed in generic terms focusing on the impact of a great variety of them, highlighting the most interesting ones for the industry.

There has been a rapid increase in the usage of carcinogenic organic and inorganic compounds such as dyes, heavy metals, and phenols due to the rise in industrialization. Around 70% of the industrial effluents are dumped into the aquatic system without being treated where they pollute the usable water supply. These elements can also harm the human health by entering the food chain. According to the current population growth rate, 3.5 billion people are expected to face water scarcity by 2025. Therefore, the need to eliminate these pollutants is growing day by day. Nanobioremediation, a combination of bioremediation and nanotechnology is a competent way to remove contaminants from aquatic systems as it is a non-toxic, cost-effective, and less time-consuming approach. Nanotechnology has compelling capability, and thus, the applications of nanoparticles will escalate in the near future, and it will be a significant part of sustainable development. This review summarizes how various nanomaterials have the potential to degrade contaminants and how it can be used in the form of adsorbents, sensors, membranes, nano-catalysts, and nano-filters to remediate contaminants from marine systems. In addition to this, various limitations of nanobioremediation and the factors responsible for efficiency of nanomaterials are also discussed in this review paper.

In the present scenario, the uncontrolled and irrational use of pesticides is affecting the environment, agriculture and livelihood worldwide. The excessive application of pesticides for better production of crops and to maintain sufficient food production is leading to cause many serious environmental issues such as soil pollution, water pollution and also affecting the food chain. The efficient management of pesticide use and remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil is one of the most significant challenges to overcome. The efficiency of the current methods of biodegradation of pesticides using different microbes and enzymes depends on the various physical and chemical conditions of the soil and they have certain limitations. Hence, a novel strategy is the need of the hour to safeguard the ecosystem from the serious environmental hazard. In recent years, the application of nanomaterials has drawn attention in many areas due to their unique properties of small size and increased surface area. Nanotechnology is considered to be a promising and effective technology in various bioremediation processes and provides many significant benefits for improving the environmental technologies using nanomaterials with efficient performance. The present article focuses on and discusses the role, application and importance of nano-bioremediation of pesticides and toxic pollutants to explore the potential of nanomaterials in the bioremediation of hazardous compounds from the environment.
