| Short description: |
The workshop addressed 2 main topics 'Water treatment and
Purification' and 'Air, Water and Soil Decontamination' through 15
presentations. The discussions focussed on the following issues:
1) Which are the most effective nanotechnologies for prevention or
cleanup of pollution?
2) How dependable and close to market are remediation techniques
based on nanotechnologies?
3) What additional research is needed to exploit the full potential of
nanotechnology for remediation?
4) Which environmental nanotechnologies are the most promising and
should be further explored?
5) What are the potential risks of using nanotechnologies in remediation
applications?
6) Is there a need for targeted funding for infrastructure to support
nanotechnologies for environmental remediation?
7) What opportunities are there for setting up EU collaborative projects on
environmental nanotechnologies?
