Presently, environmental sustainability is recognized as one of the biggest issues fueled by and affecting humankind. Directly related to the continuous increase in population, the constant deteriorating environmental health is holding us back from achieving global sustainability. Moreover, almost every aspect of sustainability discussed in this chapter either is dependent upon the environment or contributes to its condition [95]. Although there are many aspects of the environment that can be improved to prevent any more damage, the three discussed here are air, water, and energy. The influence of nanotechnology can enhance these three facets of the environment in a safe manner and minimize the effects of any future anthropogenic activities.
