This book presents the environmental benefits of nanomaterials in agriculture, water purification and nanomedicine. This volume is the first of several volumes on Environmental Nanotechnology, which will be published in the series Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World.

This book is the first volume of two volumes on cyclodextrins published in the series Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. The use of thermal analyses for assessing cyclodextrin inclusion complexes is reviewed in chapter 4 by Daniel Hadaruga et al.

This book is the second volume of two volumes on cyclodextrins published in the series Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. Hiroshi Ikeda demonstrates in chapter 5 that chromophore-appended cyclodextrins are effective for chemosensors to detect organic molecules by fluorescence or absorbance changes.

This is the first volume on adsorption using green adsorbents and is written by international contributors who are the leading experts in the adsorption field.

The volume also includes detailed review of green adsorbents for removal of antibiotics, pesticides and endocrine disruptors and the use of pillared interlayered clays as innovative materials for pollutant removal.
