Background:
The protection of the environmental is very important to control and restore the quality of
environmental media through the reduction or prevention of the pollutants. Due to the growing awareness of safety and
environmental issues, the use of nontoxic, clean and eco-friendly ways to synthesize nanoparticles has emerged out of
necessity.
Methods:
In this article, the following issues were considered: strategies of green chemistry, green chemistry metrics, waste
management, green nanotechnology/nanoscience and characterization. Furthermore, the tables including the covered topics
in terms of environmental analysis were also presented in the manuscript.
Results:
Green synthesis of nanomaterials is a safer, energy efficient and fast method that reduce the use of solvents reagents,
and preservatives which are hazardous to both environment and human health.
Conclusion:
The fabrication of nanomaterials using green procedures is a clean, safe, nontoxic and environment-friendly
method that increases its necessity and demand in the large-scale applications.
