This research explores the transformative potential of nanomaterial developments in tending to water and soil contamination through economical natural remediation procedures. Three unmistakable nanomaterials, Nanoparticle A, Nanocomposite B, and Nanotube C, were synthesized and efficiently assessed for their adequacy in poison expulsion. In adsorption tests, Nanocomposite B showed remarkable lead expulsion capacity, outperforming Nanoparticle A and Nanotube C with values of 30 mg/g. Catalytic debasement tests illustrated Nanocomposite B’s predominant proficiency in corrupting phenol, accomplishing a noteworthy 68%, outflanking Nanotube C and Nanoparticle A. A comprehensive natural compatibility appraisal uncovered decreased ecotoxicity and cytotoxicity files for Nanocomposite B, situating it as a naturally inviting choice for remediation. Comparative investigations with related works exhibit the importance of fitting nanomaterial properties focused on poison expulsion. The promising results emphasize Nanocomposite B’s potential as a maintainable and multifunctional arrangement for water and soil remediation. This investigation contributes profitable insights to the developing field of nanotechnology-enabled natural administration, emphasizing the requirement for the capable sending of nanomaterials to attain long-term environmental and human well-being benefits.

Several studies have been directed to find scalable, swift, accurate, and costeffective strategies for detecting, monitoring, and treating coronavirus disease 2019 . Indeed, the lack of a fast and practical method for detecting the infected regions makes decision-making challenging to combat the critical pandemic-struck situations. The probable 'wrong', or rather inadequate, decisions not only have a boomerang effect on the economy but also can lead to an increase in the number of infected individuals, degree of hospitalization,This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Water contamination has become a global crisis, affecting millions of people worldwide and causing diseases and illnesses, including cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis A. Conventional water remediation methods have several challenges, including their inability to remove emerging contaminants and their high cost and environmental impact. Nanomembranes offer a promising solution to these challenges. Nanomembranes are thin, selectively permeable membranes that can remove contaminants from water based on size, charge, and other properties. They offer several advantages over conventional methods, including their ability to remove evolving pollutants, low functioning price, and reduced ecological influence. However, there are numerous limitations linked with the applications of nanomembranes in water remediation, including fouling and scaling, cost-effectiveness, and potential environmental impact. Researchers are working to reduce the cost of nanomembranes through the development of more cost-effective manufacturing methods and the use of alternative materials such as graphene. Additionally, there are concerns about the release of nanomaterials into the environment during the manufacturing and disposal of the membranes, and further research is needed to understand their potential impact. Despite these challenges, nanomembranes offer a promising solution for the global water crisis and could have a significant impact on public health and the environment. The current article delivers an overview on the exploitation of various engineered nanoscale substances, encompassing the carbonaceous nanomaterials, metallic, metal oxide and metal–organic frameworks, polymeric nano-adsorbents and nanomembranes, for water remediation. The article emphasizes the mechanisms involved in adsorption and nanomembrane filtration. Additionally, the authors aim to deliver an all-inclusive review on the chronology, technical execution, challenges, restrictions, reusability, and future prospects of these nanomaterials.
