| Short description: |
EPA has developed this web site
to summarize information about selected full-, field- and pilot
scale applications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is an
emerging technology that is generally defined as the ability to
create and use materials, devices and systems with unique
properties with a size of approximately 1 to 100 nanometers
(nm). Applications of nanotechnology in environmental protection
draw on nanomaterials' unique properties and include (1) sensors
for improved monitoring and detection capabilities, and (2)
treatment and remediation techniques for cost-effective and
rapid site cleanup. Projects for this Web site are collected
using information from technical journals and conference
proceedings, as well as information obtained from technology
vendors and site managers. The project profiles contain
information on the types of contaminants treated, the type of
nanomaterial used, the nanomaterial vendor, the length of
operations, project scale and status, location, cost, monitoring
and performance results, and points of contact and references.
