This is the second volume on Environmental Nanotechnology. The first chapter discusses the synthesis of nanomaterials, particularly the green synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials. Furthermore, a comprehensive discussion about resistive and capacitive measurement of nano-based biosensors is reviewed, along with the efficient delivery of nutraceuticals with the help of nano-vehicles. Moreover, the book includes reviews on such topics as nanopharmaceuticals, health benefits, and the toxic impact of heavy metal nanomaterials. It also focuses on the long-term impacts of nanomaterials on agroecosystems.

The reader will also find presentations on molecularly imprinted polymeric nanocomposites, critical and comparative comments on Nano-biosensors and Nano-aptasensors, and on applications of nanotechnology for the remediation and purification of water, with a main focus on drinking water.

The last chapter presents a comprehensive review on plasmonic nanoparticle-based sensors, whereby the authors have hypothesized the future applications in the environment that can be plausible in the near future.
