Protecting the environment from pollution is very important in sustaining ecological health and public health in general. Environmental protection primarily refers to providing clean air for breathing and pure water for drinking. This chapter gives an outline of various nanoremediation techniques used for environmental protection. The nanoremediation strategy involves the use of reactive nanomaterials for the detoxification and transformation of the contamination.
