Abstract

Environmental pollution has a great impact on human health, ecosystem and financial development. The direct and indirect effects of nanotechnology on the environment and air pollution can be investigated from different aspects. The prospect of using this new technology is very wide. Today, in the world, nanotechnology is known as a key and influential technology on science, technology and industry,Nanotechnology uses various sciences and technologies such as physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. Nanotechnology is the science of building new materials atom by atom with desired properties, which is still at the beginning of its journey in the world and a very bright future is predicted for it among the many achievements of this technology is its application in the production, transmission, consumption and storage of energy with high efficiency and reducing environmental pollution, which creates a tremendous transformation in this field. It is expected that in the next 55 years, the world population will grow by 55% and the consumption of energy and materials will grow by 255%. So far, rising levels of production and consumption have countered our achievements in more efficient and cleaner technologies. Among these things, we can mention the production of urban solid waste, environmental effects caused by vehicles and air pollution, nanotechnology can contribute to reducing pollution or energy consumption of products. Air pollution is a change in the natural characteristics of the atmosphere due to chemical substances, dust or biological factors. Depletion of stratospheric ozone layer due to Air pollution has long been recognized as a danger to people's health and the earth's ecosystems.
