tion of nano-products and/or approaches for purifi cation and treatment of water would be the hope. Some of the
studies mentioned in this review shown the effective use of nanomaterial-based products for the purifi cation of
water. Moreover, these purifi cation approaches also meet the WHO guidelines for drinking water. Collectively,
from the present review, it is confi rmed that water/wastewater treatment using nanomaterials is a promising fi eld
for current and future research. While, considering the toxicological concerns of nanomaterials, more work is re-
quired to explore actual risks associated with humans and the environment. It can be predicted that, in the coming
decade, we will see nanotechnology playing a very signifi cant role all over the world.
