Implication of Nanotechnology to Reduce the Environmental Risks of Waste Associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic

See the paper for details: Implication of Nanotechnology to Reduce Environmental Risks of COVID-19 Waste

This article explores how nanotechnology can help mitigate the environmental risks posed by the dramatic increase in waste generated during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly from personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks, gloves, and face shields. It highlights the role of nanomaterials in improving recycling processes, accelerating waste degradation, and developing sustainable, nanostructured materials for PPE.
