Abstract

Nanotechnology and nanomaterial enhances the utility of many fields beyond the imagination specially medicine ,cosmetics, agriculture and environment sector .With respect to environment , nanotechnology and nanomaterials plays vital role in protecting forest and related area,but on another side anti effects of nanomaterials and nanoproducts are not avoidable . Nanoscience and nanotechnology is a new ly introducing area which spreads over in each and every field of science and technology .It plays vital role major role in the field of researches with new processes new ideas new effective methods of synthesis and production and replacing old one without fail. The emergence of nanotechnology is beneficial to scientist ,researchers, industrialists because of characterastics like cost effective, less energy consumption, highly precise properties and increased performance of equipments and instruments . Nanomaterials are also beneficial to environment and for which whole world is concerning over its rapid detoriation. Nanotechnology and nanomaterials are promising area to curb the energy crisis and environmental related pollutions providing permanent solutions .This informative paper gives idea about the unavoidable relation of nanotechnology environment As nanomaterials have different properties because of its nanosize ,it affects the nature drastically by introducing nanoparticles in the environment causes nanotoxicity. Now it is the great requairement not only to find out hazardous nanoparticles present in environment and its impacts on nature but also to search a solutions to reduce toxicity. It is the urgent need of present situation to protect environment as well as human being specially the persons who are directly or indirectly linked with the nanoproducts including researchers ,scientist working in this domain. With short introduction of what is nanotechnology,its present and future application in various sector has been discussed.
