Definition.
Nanoremediation: The use of nanotechnology in the improvement of a contaminated site to prevent, minimize or mitigate damage to human health or the environment. An environmental technology, to protect the environment with, pollution prevention, treatment, and clean-up.
Nanoremediation has the potential not only to reduce the overall costs of cleaning up on large scale contaminated sites, but it also can reduce clean-up time, eliminate the need for treatment and disposal of contaminated soil, reduce the contaminant concentrations to near zero—all in situ.
