This book, edited by Suresh Kumar Kailasa and others, delves into the application of nanomaterials in environmental analysis. It covers various methods and techniques employing nanomaterials for detecting and monitoring pollutants, such as metals, organic compounds, and toxic chemicals, in environmental samples. Key topics include the use of metal and carbon-based nanoparticles, graphene quantum dots, and nanostructured membranes. The book also explores the synthesis and properties of these materials and their role in enhancing analytical techniques like Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence assays. Aimed at researchers and practitioners in analytical chemistry and environmental science, it provides insights into the advantages of nanomaterials for improving environmental monitoring and pollutant remediation.
