New report published- "Nanotechnologies for Environmental Remediation"

This report describes the outcomes from the workshop on “Nanotechnologies for Environmental Remediation” which took place at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra, on the 16th and 17th April 2007.

The issues of environmental remediation are quite substantial and poorly addressed by conventional technologies. They include access to clean drinking water, removal of airborne pollutants, and the clean-up of industrially contaminated sites (in particular ex-military sites in the new Member States). Although there have been a number of laboratory demonstrations of nanotechnology applications for environmental cleanup, there remains the issue of translating these into industrial level processes.
