| Abstract | Nanotechnology has revolutionized environmental biotechnology by introducing engineered and biogenic nanoparticles with distinct physicochemical properties. High surface area-to-volume ratios, tunable reactivity, localized surface plasmon resonance, and catalytic efficiency make nanomaterials key drivers for environmental monitoring, pollution remediation, and sustainable ecosystem management. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, biopolymeric platforms, and quantum dots have proven effective across wastewater purification, soil/groundwater bioremediation, nanobiosensing, and sustainable agriculture. Biological and "green" synthesis approaches utilizing plant extracts, fungi, bacteria, and algae have emerged as sustainable alternatives to traditional physical and chemical fabrication routes, bypassing toxic solvents and reducing production costs. These green platforms demonstrate high pollutant removal capabilities, effective heavy metal adsorption, dye photo-degradation, microbial pathogen inactivation, and real-time detection of trace contaminants. However, full-scale translation requires addressing systemic issues such as ecotoxicity, environmental bioaccumulation, lifecycle persistence, and regulatory deficits. Integrating green chemistry, high-throughput nanoinformatics, and advanced analytical characterization tools will be necessary to ensure safe, scalable, and sustainable applications. This review comprehensively outlines the state-of-the-art classifications, synthesis mechanisms, functional applications, toxicological risks, and future paradigms of nanotechnology in environmental biotechnology. |
