MIT: New Research Demonstrates how Nanoparticles can Clean Up Environmental Pollutants: Water – Soil

 Nanomaterials and UV light can “trap” chemicals for easy removal from soil and water.

Many human-made pollutants in the environment resist degradation through natural processes, and disrupt hormonal and other systems in mammals and other animals. Removing these toxic materials — which include pesticides and endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA)— with existing methods is often expensive…
