Providing background on nanomaterials' two-decade study, it discusses the characterization and application of unconventional disinfectants, called antimicrobial nanomaterials, which fall into three categories and, while seemingly harmless, have potential hazards if applied improperly. Special attention is given to the process of remediation, synthetics techniques, and properties of nanomaterials, with examples to which new and trained readers in the field can relate and understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ean interdisciplinary approach, aimed at scientists in physical chemistry, nanotechnology, and environmental sciences\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eincludes applications of non-conventional techniques in environmental protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efurthers the development of applied nanoscience and nanotechnology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esuggests new industrial projects and university courses addressing nanotechnology in and for the environment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eincludes applications for water, air and soil protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLIST OF CONTRIBUTORS xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLIST OF ABBREVIATIONS xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Remediation with use of metals, metal oxides, complexes and composites 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Groundwater Water Remediation by Static Diffusion Using Nano-Zero Valent Metals (Fe0, Cu0, Al0), n-FeHn+, n-Fe(OH)x, n-FeOOH, n-Fe-[OxHy](n+\/−) 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDavid D.J.
