Ua lilo ka pilikia o ka hoʻohaumia kaiapuni i mea wela i kēia mau lā.ʻO ka haumia o ke kaiapuni, i kumu nui ʻia e nā kemika ʻona, e komo pū me ka haumia o ka ea, ka wai, a me ka lepo.ʻAʻole ka hopena o kēia pollution wale nō i ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā mea ola like ʻole, akā i ka hōʻino ʻana i ke olakino kanaka.Pono nā pae haumia e piʻi aʻe ana i kēlā me kēia lā i nā hoʻomohala ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a i ʻole ka ʻike ʻenehana koke.Hāʻawi ka Nanotechnology i nā pono he nui no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā ʻenehana kaiapuni i kēia manawa a hana i ka ʻenehana hou i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka ʻenehana o kēia manawa.Ma kēia manaʻo, ʻekolu mau mana nui o ka nanotechnology e hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma nā ʻano o ke kaiapuni, me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe (hoʻomaʻemaʻe) a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe, ka ʻike ʻana i nā mea haumia (nā ʻike a me ka ʻike), a me ka pale ʻana i ka pollution.

I kēia ao kahi i hoʻomohala ʻia a holomua nā ʻoihana, ua piha ko mākou kaiapuni i nā ʻano haumia like ʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai nā hana kanaka a i ʻole nā ​​​​kaʻina hana ʻoihana.ʻO nā laʻana o kēia mau mea hoʻohaumia ʻo carbon monoxide (CO), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), nā metala kaumaha (arsenic, chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury a me ka zinc), hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, organic compounds (volatile organic compounds and dioxins), sulfur dioxide a nā ʻōpala.ʻO nā hana kanaka, e like me ka aila, ka lanahu a me ke kinoea puhi ahi, hiki ke hoʻololi i nā hoʻokuʻu mai nā kumu kūlohelohe.Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻohaumia ʻana o ka ea, aia pū kekahi pollution wai ma muli o nā kumu like ʻole, e like me ka hoʻolei ʻana i ka ʻōpala, ka ʻaila ʻaila, ka leaka ʻana o nā mea kanu, nā herbicides a me nā pesticides, nā huahana o nā kaʻina hana ʻoihana a me ka puhi ʻana a me ka unuhi ʻana i nā wahie fossil.

Loaʻa ka nui o nā mea haumia i hui pū ʻia ma ka lewa, ka wai a me ka lepo.No laila, pono mākou i kahi ʻenehana hiki ke nānā, ʻike a, inā hiki, hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā mea haumia mai ka lewa, ka wai a me ka lepo.Ma kēia pōʻaiapili, hāʻawi ʻo nanotechnology i kahi ākea o nā hiki a me nā ʻenehana e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni e kū nei.

Hāʻawi ka Nanotechnology i ka hiki ke hoʻomalu i ka mea ma ka nanoscale a hana i nā mea i loaʻa nā waiwai kikoʻī me kahi hana kikoʻī.Ke hōʻike nei nā noiʻi mai nā pāpaʻi ʻEulopa (EU) i koho ʻia i ka manaʻolana kiʻekiʻe e pili ana i ka lakio kūpono / pilikia e pili ana i ka nanotechnology, kahi i manaʻo ʻia ai ka hapa nui o lākou i ka manaʻo e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka maikaʻi o ke ola a me ke olakino.
