Nanotechnology advances in biomass-derived green nanomaterials for mitigating environmental toxicity.
Review in Discover nano, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Environmental pollution from pesticides, synthetic dyes, heavy metals and micro-plastics has become a serious global concern due to their persistence, toxicity and ability to accumulate in living systems. Traditional methods for removing these contaminants are often energy-intensive and costly and may generate secondary pollution, underscoring the need for more sustainable solutions. In this context, green nanotechnology has emerged as a promising and environmentally friendly alternative. This review focuses on recent developments in biomass-derived nanomaterials for pollutant removal, emphasizing the use of renewable resources, including plant materials, microorganisms and agricultural waste. It discusses various green synthesis approaches, including biological and low-energy methods and explains how these materials interact with pollutants via mechanisms such as adsorption, catalytic degradation and redox reactions. Their applications in water purification, soil remediation and air pollution control are also explored. This review also brings together recent progress in biomass‑derived nanomaterials and highlights their pollutant‑specific performance, including heavy‑metal removal efficiencies exceeding 95%, dye degradation rates of 90-98% and pesticide adsorption of up to 85% under optimized conditions. We also compare how different biomass precursors and hybrid green nanomaterials shape reactivity, stability and scalability, while offering a critical assessment of their toxicity profiles and life‑cycle limitations. In addition, the review considers important aspects such as environmental safety, long-term sustainability and the role of these technologies in supporting a circular bioeconomy through waste valorisation. Finally, current challenges and future research directions are outlined, with a focus on developing scalable, cost-effective and safe nanomaterials for real-world environmental applications.
