Biosynthesis of nanoparticles for air pollution control

Abstract

Fresh air is essential for a healthy life but is being polluted due to our daily lifestyles, causing a primary concern for various health risks and deaths. The air purification system using nanotechnology is giving more effective solutions at low cost and energy. Thus, Nanotechnology is gaining more attention among researchers to treat microorganisms and particulate matters that pollute the air. Nanoparticles incorporated membrane is expected to target the contaminants of interest present in the air. This thesis focuses on the development and analysis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) incorporated nanofibrous membranes. newline
