| Summary |
"Describes a broad area of nanotechnology and water research where membrane processes are considered key components of advanced water purification and desalination technologies to remove, reduce or neutralize water contaminants that threaten human health and/or ecosystem productivity and integrity. Various nanoparticles and nanomaterials that could be used in water remediation are discussed. Water-borne infectious diseases as well as water-borne pathogens, microbes and toxicity approach receive attention"-- Provided by publisher. |
